How does the mounting on this work? How many studs do I have to find and how far apart do they have to be?

The heater comes with adaptors for sheetrock, because of the attachment holes and width of the heater you are not going to hit studs on both sides, it is light enoughthat it does not need that kind of support.

The mounting hardware is best used to mount between the studs not on the studs.

No studs needed at all. It comes with the wall fasteners for both drywall (soft) walls & plaster (hard) walls. It also comes w/ the drill bit you need to make the pilot holes. The Styrofoam used in the packaging serves as the template for mounting so the only tool you really have to supply is a level. I'm a novice with tools & I found it to be very easy to install. Make sure you install it close enough to an outlet as the directions do not recommend using an extension cord.

No need to mount the heater directly on the studs.First, Mount a finished piece of wood on the wall in the wood studs. (Use white baseboard wood; it looks good).Then mount the heater on top of that, on the finished piece of wood on the wall.

There are four mounting studs that come with the heater. They are long drywall anchors that will make the space needed between the wall and heater as well as mount the heater. If you mount it and any of the anchors line up with a wood stud; you will have to use a longer wood screw in place of the screws provided.

There are anchors for drywall and studs so you can put it anywhere you want.

The mounting holes in closest proximity to each other are at 17". There are a total of 4 mounting holes, so at least we got 1 into a stud and the others we used wallboard anchors. But, it is plenty solid. I used it in my bedroom where I have a couple of heavy robes, pair of pajamas and sometimes other stuff on it.

Hello Joan, my experience with this mount is that you have to mount it on the studs, the dimensions are on the box or in the description before you purchase it

There are three screws used mount the bracket to the wall. If you can locate a wall stud and mount it to the stud, the screw holes can be about 1/8" wide. If mounting to a stud doesn't work for you, you'll need to put three anchors into the wall. Those holes would be about 1/4" around.

Not exactly clear on what your asking?? Are you mounting to a wall with studs behind the drywall?

It has 4 holes for mounting. We found a stud to mount it to on both sides. Then put them over each other. If you had to you could use anchors the wait is vertical so it hangs rather than pulls allowing for much better wait capacity. Just don't over tighten, it could crack.

You just have make sure you hit the center of a stud with the lag screws. Doesn't matter how far apart the studs are. You only need one.

This can be mounted without studs but it definitely needs anchors. Toggle bolts are what I used and it is working great! It comes with plastics anchors but after reading some reviews, I went out and bought toggle bolts.

There are one and three-fourths inches from the center of one mounting screw to the center of the other mounting screw. Hope your studs are real close together!

Most definitely studs. However, Since it did not line up with the studs for me. I ran a 1 x 4 across, both the top and bottom and secured into the studs. Then I mounted the rack onto the 1 x 4.Worked just fine.

The last screw holes are 16 and a half inches apart. It fits between the normal studs. It is a very nice mount we really like it.

It is pretty hard to catch a stud with all 4 screws. I would think that 2 screws into studs is pretty good and secure.

I was able to mount on 16" studs. There isn't much room after you hang tv so be sure to have all plug ins before attaching.

Yes. The unit comes with anchors. My unit isn't attached to any studs. Now, if you have a LOT of heavy objects that you will be hanging, you might want to put it in a stud. The closest screw holes are 17 inches apart and the farthest are 22 inches apart. I hope this is helpful!

The screw holes are just about 17" on the widest one. The over all length of the mount is over 18" though and there is room enough to drill a hole in the mount to make it 18" if you wanted to go through the trouble and have a drill to go through a plate like this. Great that builders are always messing things up by trying to save a buck on a build! I would have no issue drilling a hole and putting this up at 18". It is doable. Or you could just hit one stud up real solid and use anchors for your other screws if you didn't want to put a hole next to the line of holes.

It has to be mounted to two studs. Its very heavy but very well made. I love mine but I had to modify a steel mounting plate to my wall because the space I wanted to install it did not have two studs close enough.

As others said it comes with what you need to mount it. I mounted mine to a larger piece of plywood with some screws and then mounted that to the studs in my garage. Works great!
