possible to attach into wood joists, use #10 X 1-1/2” screws.

FCF Installation Instructions

1. Measure the exact dimension between the floor and ceiling in

the exact position you intend to place the frame. Subtract 5 feet
(60 inches) from the measured dimension.
Example:
98” floor to ceiling measurement
98” – 60” = 38”

2. Using the resulting dimension, measure away from the

mounting plate and mark both rails on one of the frame halves.

Note: If the measurement falls on one of the cross members, you
will need to cut some off of both halves. Cut 2” off of one half and
increase your resulting dimension from step 1 by 2” and mark the
2nd frame half.

3. Using a hack saw, carefully cut both rails squarely at the

markings. Clean off any burrs with a metal file. (IMAGE A)

4. Insert the plastic couplers into the ends of one frame piece and

slide the two frame sections together. Place the assembled frame
on a level surface, so that the frame lays flat with support under
the coupled joint.

5. Remove 2 WS series racks from their packaging and remove the

plastic end caps from the bottom of one set and from the top of
the other set.

6. Determine whether you would like the bottle necks to face left

or right. Using the set of WS series racks with the plugs removed
from the top, place either the neck or base of the rack on the 5’
section of the frame rail. Locate the bottom of the rack to the
desired distance above the plate that will be fastened to the floor.
Using the provided self-drilling screws, mount the WS series rack
to the frame. (IMAGE B)

7. Attach the other side of the rack to the 2nd rail and insert the

plastic couplers provided with the WS series racks into the bottom
of the 2nd set of racks.

8. Slide the coupler into the 1st rack and attach it to the frame.

Repeat for the other half of the rack.

11. Attach the remaining racks or FCF Back to the opposite side of

the frame

Note: You may need to offset the racks vertically about 1/8” so
that the screws from the opposite side will not interfere with the
insertion of screws.

10. Stand the frame in place and shim at the top, if necessary, to

achieve a snug fit.

11. Attach the frame to the ceiling first with the appropriate

fasteners for your surface*. Using a level, ensure the rack is vertical
both side-to side and front-to-back. Next, attach the frame to the
floor using fasteners suitable for that surface*. (IMAGE C)

12. Load your racks with wine and enjoy the VintageView®!
