Length is equal to the width of the installation cavity!
iNote
-If the installation cavity is deeper than the appliance, select a beam which has a larger cross section or attach 2 beams.
-The beam must cover the appliance by at least 2" (50.8 mm).
qLocate wall studs near the rear panel of the cavity and mark drill holes in the beam.
