Eagle Rural Mailboxes – 4855E
Spreader & Modern Decorative Mailbox Post
Installation Instructions
U.S.P.S. APPROVED
Thank you for selecting Salsbury’s 4855E eagle rural mailbox. This instruction sheet is for installing 4855E eagle rural mailboxes on 2-wide or 3-wide spreaders and
a Salsbury modern decorative mailbox post. Other installation instructions are available for installing the mailboxes and spreaders on a standard mailbox post,
mounting a single mailbox on a decorative or standard mailbox post, mounting a newspaper holder, and mounting the post in a concrete footing.
When you install a curbside or roadside mailbox, make sure that it is easily accessible to the mail carrier. By regulation it should be 41” to 45” from the ground or
street surface up to the inside floor of the mailbox. The door should be set back 6” to 8” back from the front face of the curb or the road edge. However, you should
check with your local postmaster to ensure that the mailbox is installed according to local regulations.

All hardware to attach the spreader to the modern decorative mailbox post is
included with the post. To attach the spreader to the modern decorative
mailbox post, install four (4) 5/16”-18 X 2-3/4” long hex flange head bolts
through the four (4) center square holes of the spreader, through the square
spacer and through the four (4) square holes in the top plate of the modern
decorative mailbox post arm. Install 5/16” flat washers and 5/16”-18 hex nuts
on the ends of the four (4) bolts protruding below the bottom of the modern
decorative mailbox post arm. Cover the hex flange head bolts and nuts with
cap plugs.
All hardware to attach the mailboxes to the spreader is included with the
spreader. To attach a mailbox, open the front door of the mailbox and install
four (4) 5/16”-18 x 1-3/4” long carriage bolts through the four (4) square holes
in the inside floor of the mailbox, through four (4) 5/8” nylon spacers (thread
onto bolt), and through the four (4) corresponding square holes in top of the

steps for the other mailbox. Installation is now complete. Additional hardware
provided is not needed and may be discarded.
4883 3-Wide Spreader

through the four (4) square holes in the inside floor of the center mailbox,
through four (4) 5/8” nylon spacers (thread onto bolt), through the four (4)
