Frequently Asked Questions - REB18 Middle Atlantic

What is the maximum load capacity of the REB18?

The maximum load capacity is 75 lbs (cantilever load). Ensure the mounting surface can support this load.

How do I change the rotation direction?

Default rotation is to the left. To switch to right rotation, turn the base over and move the set screw to the opposite side.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a drill with a 3/32" drill bit for pilot holes and a screwdriver for the provided wood screws.

How do I secure components to the REB18?

Attach the provided hook and loop fasteners to the component feet (or flat locations near corners), then press the component onto the base. Stack components by repeating the process.

How should I manage cables?

Use the included hook and loop straps and adhesive-backed cable managers to route and secure cables. Bundle cables with wire ties every 6" to 8".

Can I stack multiple components on the REB18?

Yes, you can stack components on top of each other. Follow steps 10-14 for each component, using hook and loop fasteners to secure them.

What is the warranty period for the REB18?

Middle Atlantic provides a 3-year warranty from the date of shipment against defects in material or workmanship.

How do I mount the REB18 to a surface?

Place the base in position with thumbscrews secured, mark mounting holes, drill pilot holes with a 3/32" bit, and affix using the provided #10x5/8 wood screws. Extend and install remaining screws.

Are there any safety precautions I should follow?

Ensure the mounting surface can support the cantilever load of 75 lbs. Do not exceed the maximum load. Secure the base with thumbscrews when closed to prevent unintentional opening.

How do I lock the REB18 in the closed position?

After closing, turn the thumbscrews to secure the base in place. This prevents accidental opening.
