ISSUED: 11-19-07 SHEET #: 202-9245-5 09-01-11

Make sure that wall plate (A) is level, use it as a
template to mark two mounting holes. Drill two 5/16"
(8 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2.5"
(64 mm). Insert anchors (D) in holes fl ush with wall
as shown. Place wall plate over anchors and secure
with two #14 x 2.5" screws (C). Level, then tighten
all fasteners.

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block

1

• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" (35 mm) 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" (25 mm) 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 hard-

ware and components.

• Tighten screws so that wall plate is fi rmly attached,

but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage
screws, greatly reducing their holding power.

• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).

• Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly

to load-bearing concrete.

• Never attach concrete expansion anchors to

concrete covered with plaster, drywall, or other
fi nishing material. If mounting to concrete surfaces
covered with a fi nishing surface is unavoidable (not
evaluated by UL), the fi nishing surface must be
counterbored as shown below. Be sure concrete
anchors do not pull away from concrete when
tightening screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than
5/8" (16 mm), custom fasteners must be supplied by
installer (not evaluated by UL).
