Mounting Levven Switches Onto the Wall
After the walls are painted, switches can be mounted wherever the homebuyer needs them. Switches can go on any surface: drywall/sheetrock, brick, glass, concrete, etc.
Measure Up From Floor for Correct Switch Height
Levven recommends using the SWI-JIG switch installation jig to speed up your work.
Multi-Gang Quick Mount Switches Installation Instructions:
Step 1: Snap Switches Together
Create multi-gang switches by snapping two or more switches together as shown (2-, 3-, or 4-gang).
Step 2: Insert Sheetrock Screws
Switches are mounted with drywall/sheetrock anchor screws. Single-gang switches use two screws (one on the top and bottom). Multi-gang switches use four screws (one on each corner).
Step 3: Screw in Sheetrock Screws
With a screwdriver, gently screw the screws into the sheetrock / drywall. All four corners of the switch should be flat against the wall surface. No gaps or wiggle-room.
Step 4: Snap On Screwless Plate
Finish the installation with a screwless snap-on Levven wall plate.
Builder Change Orders
If a change order requires more controllers to be added to the installation, do not take controllers or switches from another Quick Kit. Those kits have already been configured for another installation.
Taking controllers out of other Quick Kits causes more work later.
Your purchaser will have ordered additional stock from Levven to address potential changes. Ensure your truck is stocked with several spare units to handle unexpected change orders.
