Overview
Fixture supports have been designed to secure and support lavatories, sinks, electric water coolers, hospital service and scrub-up sinks, and many other types of off-thefloor fixtures. The supports for these fixtures are divided into two general categories: Floor Mounted Supports and Wall Mounted Supports..
Typical Arrangements of Floor and Wall Mounted Supports

Pro-Set FLOOR MOUNTED UPRIGHT SUPPORT - Pro-Set is the trade name for the Smith system using uprights welded to base plates. This applies to round or rectangular uprights. The function of the support is to provide the means of mounting an off-the-floor fixture so that the vertical load bearing members are completely concealed inside the wall. This system has no external contact with the finished floor inside the room.
WALL MOUNTED SUPPORT - The function of this support is to provide for securing of the fixture to the wall in areas where a floor mounted support cannot be installed. The wall structure must be of sufficient strength to support the entire weight of the fixture.

NOTE: Single Plates for Battery Applications Available See Figs. 0722, 0722 (-E), and 0728, 0728 (-E).

REGULARLY FURNISHED: Floor or wall mounted supports with concealed or exposed arms, and/or with plate and studs as indicated by figure number selected. Exposed arm assemblies are acid resistant coated. Base supports for floor mounted type are welded to uprights. Escutcheons and exposed trim are chromium plated. Miscellaneous cast iron and steel parts are duco coated.

NOTE: SMITH provides Fixture Support Selection Guides which list the proper support for the fixture specified. Also furnished with each shipment of fixture supports are rough-in instructions of the support specified.

FURNISHED WHEN SPECIFIED - Exposed arm plate and studs with vandal proof trim. To specify, add Suffix -U to figure number of support desired.

NOTE: When ordering lavatories for use with concealed arms, it should be so stated to the fixture manufacturer so that the proper fixture will be furnished for use with a concealed arm support.
