Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
A WARNING
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 mortarjoints! Be sure to mount in a solid
partofthe block, generally 1" minimum from the side ofthe block. Cinder block must meetASTM C-90 specifica
tions. 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 ofthe 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 ofthe equipment and all attached hard
ware and components.
o
NOTE: ACC233 (concrete anchors are not included)
are recommended.
Drill two 5/16" (8 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of
2.5" (64 mm). Attach ceiling plate (G) using two concrete
anchors and #14x 2.5" wood screws (F) as shown in
Illustration A and 1, 2 and 3. Tighten all fasteners.
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the installer to
verify that the ceiling will safely support the
combined load of all attached hardware and
components.
Skip to step 2.
A WARNING
Tighten screws so that wall plate is firmly 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.).
A WARNING
Always attach concrete anchors directly to load
bearing concrete.
Never attach concrete anchors to concrete covered
with plaster, drywall, orotherfinishing material.
If mounting to concrete surfaces covered with a
finishing surface is unavoidable (not evaluated by
UL), the finishing 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",
custom fasteners must be supplied by installer (not
evaluated by UL).
