Use wall plate (A), making sure that it is level, as
a template to mark holes. The top mounting slots
should be located .43" below the desired screen
center. Use the masonry bit to drill 5/16" (8 mm)
dia. holes to a minimum depth of 3" (76 mm). Insert
anchors (V) in holes fl ush with wall as shown (right).
Place wall plate (A) over anchors (V) and secure
with 5/16 x 3" wood screws (O) and washers (P). 1

• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" of actual concrete
thickness in the hole to be used for the concrete anchors. Do not drill into mortar joints! Be sure to mount in a
solid part of the block, generally 1" minimum from the side of the block. Cinder block must meet ASTM C-90
specifi cations. It is suggested that a standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the hole instead of a
hammer drill to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity.
• Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor.
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.
WARNING
• Tighten wood screws so that wall plate is fi rmly at-
tached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can
damage screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in • lb (9 N.M.).
WARNING
• Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly
to load-bearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete expansion anchors to con-
crete covered with plaster, drywall, or other fi nishing
material. If mounting to concrete surfaces covered
with a fi nishing surface is unavoidable, the fi nishing
surface must be counterbored as shown below. If
plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8", custom fasteners
must be supplied by installer (not UL evaluated).
