Preva

Metal Stud
Wall
When installing the Preva Dental X-ray System on a metal stud wall, the Control Unit is
mounted to a wall plate (Two Stud Mounting Kit 30-A2042) and uses an additional support
plate (Metal Stud Support Plate Kit 30-A2043, purchased as an option) positioned on the
back end of the wall. See Figure 11. Fasteners are provided with the wall plate and support
plate. The wall fabrication and attachments to the building structure must be capable of
withstanding a load moment of 850 ft. lbs. [118 m-kg]. If the wall on which the Preva is to be
installed does not meet this requirement, it must be reinforced.
In mounting configurations using the dual stud wall plate, there are several holes available
for incoming line power. This is to provide for various locations of existing power boxes
when installing as a replacement unit. Refer to the mounting template in Figure 8 for hole
locations.
