4x6 Minimum structural wood blocking must be installed flush to front face of studs prior to placement of
tile substrate. Secure with (4) 16d nails at each end of block. Locate horizontal centerline of blocks to align with
centerline of BB-ADJR. Wood blocking must extend to the next wall stud beyond the BB-ADJR width. Install tile
substrate per manufacturer's directions.
2. Expand bench to width desired, being sure to keep large holes in
_ front face of the BB-ADJR aligned for both halves. Secure the final
dimensions as detailed in BB-ADJR installation instructions.
3. Viewing from front of bench, locate the 1-1/8&quot; holes that are visible after bench has been expanded
and secured. These are the mounting locations for the INVISABOLT! (drill out exposed metal if necessary)
Temporarily place bench in final location and mark centerline of INVISABOLT locations on substrate (you may wish to cut 2 or 3
temporary legs from scrap wood to provide support when completing the following operations!) Set bench unit aside.
Using a 5/8” bit, drill INVISABOLT mounting locations through substrate into preinstalled blocking
for a combined depth of 4&quot;. Keep drill straight, level, and as perpendicular as possible to
wall surface. Be careful not to penetrate other side of finish wall. Slide plastic insulator onto the |
INVISABOLT and insert through the large hole in front face of BB-ADJR unit and thread into 5/8”
predrilled locations. Tighten the bolts until INVISABOLT face “just” makes uniform contact with
front face of BB-ADJR. Provide a sufficient amount of additional caulk or liquid waterproofing
material to protect INVISABOLT penetration through bench and wall.
Follow Better-Bench&reg; ADJR standard method mounting instructions Steps 2-4 to secure the
bench to final position and fill with appropriate fill material. Do not “bury” INVISABOLT head with
mortar. Allow mortar to cure at least 48 hrs. prior to continuing. Tighten INVISABOLTs 1/4-1/2 turn or until resistance is about 15 Ibs.
torque. Do not over tighten or cause a deflection in face of bench.
Apply finish material to top of bench, face and exposed ends.

Frequently asked questions

A 2x6 stud wall is recommended, or a minimum 2x4 stud wall if it has a direct ceiling connection.

Two (2) INVISABOLT supports are required for wall to wall mounting up to 63 inches.

A minimum 4x6 structural wood blocking must be installed flush to the front face of the studs prior to tile substrate placement. It should be secured with (4) 16d nails at each end and extend to the next wall stud beyond the bench width.

The combined depth through the substrate into the preinstalled blocking should be 4 inches.

Mortar should be allowed to cure for at least 48 hours prior to continuing with tightening the INVISABOLTs.

The new version of the BB-ADJR has four large holes in the back of the unit which serve as INVISABOLT mounting points, whereas the old version has no such holes.
