Step 4Mount Second Flange
Attach the second 5" pipe to the second flange and attach an elbow pipe to the other end of the 5" pipe before attaching to the rest of the bookshelf.
Determine where the flange will sit on the wall (should be in a stud, if not make sure to use dry wall screws) and mark the holes where the screws will go. Drill pilot holes using a drill bit that is a bit smaller than the size of your screws. Hold the flange up to the wall and screw the flange in with the hand drill.
