Plaque Installation Guidelines

Care needs to be taken to ensure the plaque is installed neatly and permanently on its base structure.

Phoenix Foundry recommendations for the various fixing systems are:

Flat Back

Glueable Strip

> Flat Black or Glueable Strip
1. Check that the plaque and base are flat to ensure no "rocking" ocurrs.
2. Glue the plaque on the base using liquid nails, silicone or other suitable adhesive.

> Lugs and Studs
1. Screw studs into threaded lugs in back of plaque.
2. Using studs to locate points on mounting surface, drill holes in mounting surface slightly larger than the lug
3. Fill holes using 'Liquid Nails', 'Epoxy' or other permanent mastic adhesive. Use a weak mortar mix if removal of the plaque is required at a later date.
4. Push studs into the holes and anchor plaque until adhesive sets.

Lugs and Studs

> Screws
1. Select suitable screws (Phoenix will supply colour match to plaque).
2. Position plaque and mark holes in base.
3. Drill holes and plug if masonary wall.
4. Screw plaque firmly in position.
5. Adhesive can be applied for added strength.

Screws

> Studs (for thin walls where rear is accessible)
1. Mark hole positions with studs on plaque
2. Drill Holes through wall with suitable clearance
3. Fix plaque firmly with nuts and washers.

Studs

> Straps (for Niche walls)
1. Apply adhesive to back edges of plaque
2. Set strap so it will grip edge of niche firmly.
3. Place plaque in position and anchor until adhesive sets.
