Premier Mounts’ Universal Washers are designed to
accommodate the various M4, M5, M6 and M8 hole
sizes required by at panels.

the head of the mounting screw and the mounting
bracket as shown.
Does your at panel have:
●Recessed mount points?
●Uneven mount points?
●A curved back?
●Any obstruction near the mount point?
If Yes, you must install Universal Spacers. Remove the
mounting brackets, Universal Washers, and mounting
screws from the back of the at panel. Proceed to the

recessed or uneven mount points. Each Universal
Spacer adds 1/4” to the distance between the mounting
bracket and your at panel.
