MB-C10 Mounting bracket showing both the
14.5" long rail
and the 22.5" long rail. This picture also shows the white
film
that
covers
the mounting opening, which should stay in place
until
you are
ready to install the C-10SW.
The MB-C10 consists of five separate pieces and two different types of screws. There are two pairs of steel mounting rails supplied. One pair 14.5” long to span 16” OC members and one pair 22.5” long to span 24” OC members. These fasten to the framing members with screws.
The MB-C10 and the C-10SW are sold separately so that they may be purchased and installed during different phases of construction.
For the sake of safety, the system is designed such that the entire assembly is mounted directly to the structure’s framing members. It actually re-enforces the sheetrock by unitizing it, the assembly and the structure’s framing together.
