When installing wall mounts on a concrete wall, the wall must be at least 8" thick with a minimum compressive
strength of 2000 psi. When installing wall mounts on a cinder block wall, the cinder blocks must meet ASTM
C-90 specifications and have a minimum nominal width of 8". 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. 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. Never attach concrete expansion anchors to concrete or cinder block
covered with plaster, drywall or other finishing material.
