Mounting Sub-Base to Wall
Be sure wires are routed through the center of the 
base plate and are long enough to connect to ter-
minals. 
Select and mark three holes.  
NOTE:  The three hole locations indicated at right 
are recommended.  The top location is an optional 
mounting screw location.
A level may be used to ensure professional appear-
ance.
Attach base to wall using 3 screws provided.  The 
locations indicated provide the most secure mount-
ing and are recommended.
NOTE:  Since moderate force is required when re-
moving the thermostat from the sub-base, the sub-
base must be securely attached to the wall.
Do not overtighten screws to avoid damaging the 
sub-base.
1)  Press tip of SnapSkru® an-
chor into drywall using #2 Phillips 
screwdriver or screw gun. Drive 
anchor clockwise into drywall until 
anchor stops flush with wall.
2)  Place sub-base over anchor 
and insert screw.
3)  Tighten screw flush with sub- 
base. Screw “pops” open anchor, 
locking anchor on wall.
Do not overtighten screws to avoid 
damaging the sub-base.
If mounting to drywall, supplied SnapSkru® connectors must be used to mount the thermostat sub-base to 
the wall.  These connectors will ensure that the control is adequately supported.
NOTE:  Since moderate force is required when removing the thermostat from the sub-base, a firmly mount-
ed sub-base is essential.
