Wall mounting assembly

A method of mounting a supported element to a wall structure having an outer wall panel and an internal thickness, the method comprising:

• forming a hole having a first diameter through the outer wall panel;
• providing a central anchor assembly with an anchor portion fixedly attached to a mating portion adjacent an open end of the anchor portion, said anchor portion further comprising a closed end opposite the open end and an elongated internal passageway extending between the open and closed ends;
• inserting the central anchor assembly into the hole and through the internal thickness of the wall structure until a bottom end of the mating portion engages the outer wall panel;
• coupling each of a plurality of elongated anchors to the mating portion at an oblique angle relative to a central axis of the anchor portion, each elongated anchor having a threaded outer wall and a closed end configured to cut into the internal thickness of the wall structure as the elongated anchor is inserted into the wall structure;
• coupling an external assembly to the central anchor assembly adjacent the outer wall panel;
• and
• inserting an elongated fastener through an open center of the external assembly and into the internal passageway of the anchor portion, thereby securing the external assembly to the central anchor assembly.

A mounting assembly for securing a supported element to a wall structure having an outer wall panel and an internal thickness, the mounting assembly comprising:

• an internal assembly configured to engage the internal thickness of the wall structure and handle tension loads applied to the supported element, the internal assembly comprising a plurality of anchors configured to cut into the internal thickness and extend out at different angular directions relative to a central axis of the internal assembly;
• an external assembly configured to engage the outer wall panel and a mating portion of the internal assembly, and handle sheer loads applied to the supported element, the external assembly comprising a projection configured to apply a radially outward force against an extent of the mating portion upon coupling the external assembly to the internal assembly;
• and
• an elongated fastener for coupling the external assembly to the internal assembly, the elongated fastener extending through an open center of the external assembly and into an internal passageway of the internal assembly.
