HELPFUL!

 Before starting the mounting process, review the diagram below to ensure a trouble free install.

The shade mount in the SHA-B8CLxx corner shade mount kit is a floating/outside type mount for the drive (motor) side of a Savant shade 

installation. The mount has a 45° bevel with a slot cut in the bevel so it can be joined together with any of the other corner type mounts using 

an angled bracket (angled bracket is included in the SHA-B7CRxx and SHA-B8CRxx shade mount kits). The shade mounts in the SHA-B7 and 

SHA-B8 shade corner mounts kits are typically installed where two windows meet each other to form either an inside or outside 90° angle. The 

shade mount in the SHA-B8CLxx kit is a floating/outside type mount and is installed using the included shade mount sleeve and 2 inch hanger 

bolt. Savant recommends that the drive side shade mount be installed first. Once mounted, it can then be used as a reference point for mounting 

the idler side (SHA-B7CLxx). 

 

– Install the shade mount so the center point of the mount is installed at least 

1

 ³/₄ 

inch (minimum) from any obstructions.

 

– To aid in the installation of the SHA-B8CL shade mount, a template (SHA-

INSTEMP-xx) is available. This template contains all the holes and spacing 

required to mount any Savant shade mount.

 

– To reduce marking up the walls, it is recommended that painters tape be 

used whenever drilling is involved.

Drill Hole for Shade Motor Wires

Before installing onto ceiling, a hole must be drilled into the side of the mount to feed the wires for the shade motor through. Because this is a 

corner type mount, two shade mounts are assembled together. Therefore, the hole for the shade motor wires must be drilled opposite the 45° 

bevel of the mount. Follow instructions below for where to drill the hole. 

1.  Mark where to drill the hole in the shade mount using the diagram below. 

Hole should be positioned opposite the 45° bevel on side of mount.

2.  Drill an

 inch hole into the side of the mount. Do not drill all the way 

through. Drill so wires can be fed into opening in rear of mount.

3.  Feed the control and power wires for the shade motor 

through the hole just drilled and out the rear of the mount.
