Installing the NXD-1700VG into drywall using Expansion Clips

Expansion clips are mounted through the four oval holes located along the rim of the NXD-1700VG. As the screw is tightened, the clip bends toward the insertion hole and into the wall. This bending creates a "grip" on the wall by either pressing onto the wall or by securing the drywall between the housing and the drywall clip.

The most important thing to remember when mounting the NXD-1700VG Wall Mount is that the outer frame (Mounting Ridge) must be mounted flush against the mounting surface.

Most beams have a distance of about 14" to 16". This is too narrow to accommodate the 17.03" (43.26 cm) wide outer housing (back box) of the NXD-1700VG.

1.Determine which stud beam configuration to use:

Pre-wallframing is done prior to the drywall installation (local framing instructions vary based on location and building codes). FIG. 58 shows show to mount and position the main NXD unit into a pre-wall environment (for use with drywall clips).

There is no notching of a beam in this method. The center vertical beam is cut out, attached, and secured to two horizontal beams, then further secured into place by an another offset vertical beam that "frames" the insertion area. This framing method provides a space of ~1.20 inches (30.63 mm) above and below the NXD unit to provide the drywall clips with room to secure themselves against the drywall.

Enough room must be left for drywall clips to fold and collapse above and below the back box

FIG. 58 NXD-1700VG framing installation overview

With an existing wall in place, continue with steps 3 and 4 to notch one or both selected beams. There is no horizontal support beam "framing" in this method.

Take into account the width of the cutting blade and the thickness of the drywall surface when making the cut into the drywall.
