Choosing the location to mount the Recessed Anchor is your discretion based upon your needs. Select a location which provides structural support for mounting and will meet your overall tie down needs. You will need access to the back/under side of the mounting surface to allow for bolt-through installation to secure Recessed Anchor with bolt, washer, and lock nut. NOTES: Remember these are “recessed anchors” therefore they are designed to be placed into a “well/cutout”. The overall strength of the Recessed Anchor is subject to the integrity of the mounting surface therefore it is recommended you choose a suitable structural surface. CAUTION: Check the back/under side of mounting surface to be certain you will not damage anything when drilling through the mounting surface. If a WELL is not available, make a pattern from the Recessed Anchor for your cutout. CAUTION: Well/cutout should only be the size, depth, shape and angle of recessed portion of Anchor. Once you have made your cutout, place the Recessed Anchor over the opening and align the Anchor. Based on the mounting hardware you are using, drill through the mounting holes in your Anchor and through your substrate. Complete your installation based upon your hardware/backing plate purchased. NOTES: MOUNTING HARDWARE AND BACKING PLATE NOT INCLUDED WITH RECESSED ANCHORS as there are many variations in install substrates.
