Mantel Installation Instructions
WARNINGS:
• Be sure to obey all safety rules and recommendations set forth by tool manufacturers.
• Always follow any, and all, local, state, and federal building codes.
• Always comply with clearances set forth by the manufacturer of stoves, replaces, furnaces,
and any other heat source.

Mantel Installation
1. Using a stud nder mark each stud with a pencil.
2. Create a level line one inch below where you want the top of the
installed mantel.
3. Attach the lumber to the wall at the level line by screwing the deck
screws through the lumber and into the studs. Use mollies/anchors
if there are no studs.
4. Apply Loctite PL Premium Advanced 3X Construction Adhesive to
the top of the mounted lumber. Slide the mantel over the mounted
lumber.
5. At the top of the mantel, use the deck screws and toe screw the
mantel to the lumber. Recess the screws about 1/8”. Be careful not
to over tighten.
6. Apply color complimenting textured caulk to ll screw holes. Blend
caulk into adjacent surfaces while it is still wet. Use paint from the
touch-up kit to paint over the caulk or wood ller. Do not sand the
mantel. Sanding will ruin the nish and the grain.
