Installation
- Place in position - Base plates are recommended to be placed at 90 degrees to the adjacent base plate to provide best possible lateral stability in all directions. This is critically important if building a freestanding deck (i.e. not attached to any fixed structure – eg house).
- Use a masonry bit to drill the holes and clean out the dust. Masonry Drill Bit Diameter: 10mm (if using the THD10060MG). Drill hole depth: 85mm
- Fix with 2 x M10 Titen HD x 60mm long (THD10060MG) anchors to ensure strength and stability of base.
- Adjust to the height required. Note: Full turn = 3mm adjustment. Do not wind higher than 290mm to the bottom of bearer height.
- Locking nuts should be fully tightened at all times. This is especially important when the thread is wound out near its maximum height.
- Secure the bearer to the support using two (2) M10 bolts with washers and nuts.
Note:
- Provides a bottom of bearer height from 160mm to 290mm.
- On a free-standing deck (i.e. not attached to a fixed structure), regardless of bearers meeting span requirements, a minimum of six (6) Adjustable Bearer Supports should be used.
- If you require a bottom of bearer height of 160mm, you will need to cut the bottom 20mm of the threaded rod.
- Do not wind the Adjustable Bearer Support higher than 290mm to the bottom of bearer height.
