Mounting ssBrewtech econtroller
« on: May 26, 2019, 09:53:15 pm »

Has anyone mounted this a controller on the wall? On the back there are 3 T-rail slots but I haven’t been able to find any T-rails or T-slot nuts that fit.  I contacted SS, and they said they haven’t made those mounting parts yet. 
Thanks
I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.

Can you post a picture of the rail(s).

 For some reason I’ve never been able to post a picture on this forum. But this is the link to their website and it shows it pretty clearly. Especially if you go to the 360° view. Any help would be great.
Thanks

I looked at a controller and it appears a normal T-head bolt would work. So, you measure the vertical centers of the rails and decide what horizontal spacing you want and drill those holes in a piece of stainless, wood, plastic, whatever you choose.  Then slide your bolts into the slot and put the bolts into the pre-drilled holes.  Add a washer, lock washer and a nut and you’re good to go.

This is what you need.  However, confirm the size.

Hope this helps!

Edit - these bolts can be found at your local Home Depot or Menards or Lowe’s.  The link is just to show what they look like.

You can use EZ Ancors in a stud, then use a screw at the proper depth to engage the T rail

FYI for anyone who has the controller, ssbrewtech  just came out with the hanging mount equipment on their website. Bought it and it works perfectly.
