supplied. Secure through the centre

 

of the top and bottom slots in the nail-

 

 

ing tab and then through the existing

 

 

holes in the corner posts.

NAILING

If there are no existing holes, follow

TAB

these instructions:

 

 

Position the nailing tab so that the front

 

 

face is offset with the front edge of the

 

 

corner post (approx. ½"). Centre the

 

 

nailing tab vertically on the corner

 

 

post.

 

 

Figure 43 a.

 

 

Drill through the centre of the top and bottom slots in the nailing tab. Secure using the two sheet metal screws supplied. This allows the nailing tab to slide back and forth for desired fram- ing. Figure 43 b.

2)To determine the final location of the nailing tab

you must first determine the thickness of your finishing material (i.e. drywall). This will determine the dimension from the front edge of the corner post to the nailing tab. Once the nailing tab is in the desired location, drill through the centre hole of the nailing tab. Secure with a sheet metal screw*. Figure 43 c.

*Additional set screws may be installed.
