Peerless-AV SP850-V2X2 - Installation - Manual (Page 5)

5 of 10 ISSUED: 01-17-12 SHEET #: 125-9277-1
Position wall mount assembly ( A) at desired position
on wall . Use wall mount assembly, making sure that
it is level, as a template to mark holes. Drill four
5/16" (8mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2-1/2"
(64 mm). Concrete must be 2000 psi density
minimum. Insert anchors ( E) in holes flush with wall
as shown in figure 2.4. Place wall mount assembly
over anchors and secure with #14 x 2-1/2" wood
screws ( D) as shown in figure 2.5. Make sure wall
plate is level and tighten all fasteners.
Installation to Solid Concrete and Cinder Block Wall
2
• 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
specifications. 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.

• Tighten wood screws so that wall plate is firmly 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 finishing
material. If mounting to concrete surfaces covered
with a finishing surface is unavoidable, the finishing
surface must be counterbored as shown below. If
plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8", custom fasteners
must be supplied by installer.
