• Due to outdoor environmental conditions such as heavy snow, hail, rain, etc. the environmental mount and
hardware must be inspected at least once a year. This product should not be exposed to high winds. Aqualified
installer or inspector must check for signs of rust, loose fasteners, bent metal, etc. If evidence of excessive wear,
deterioration or any unsafe condition is observed, this product must be taken out of service immediately. Direct all
inquiries to customer care if you have any questions.
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.
• Never exceed the Maximum UL Load Capacity. See page one.
• If mounting to wood wall studs, make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the studs. Use of
an "edge to edge" stud finder is highly recommended.
• Always use an assistant or mechanical lifting equipment to safely lift and position equipment.
• Tighten screws firmly, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the items, greatly reducing their holding
power.

Installation to Wood Stud Wall
Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs and draw a vertical line down the center of each stud. Use wall
plate (B) as a template to mark center of four mounting holes. The top mounting slots should be located 3.95"
(100mm) above the desired screen center as shown in figure 1.1. Drill four 5/32" (4mm) dia. holes to a depth
of 2-1/2" (64mm) . Attach wall plate (B) to wall using three wood screws (D) and one security wood screw (N) as
shown in fig. 1.2. Level wall plate then tighten all fasteners.
Attach wall arm (A) to wall plate (B) with two 1/4-20 x 1/2" socket pin screws (P) as shown in figure 1.3.
• Installer must verify 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 attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the
screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).
• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the stud. The use of an "edge to edge" stud finder
is highly recommended.
• Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs.
Installers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations (not evaluated by UL).

Installation to Solid Concrete and Cinder Block
• When installing Peerless wall arms 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 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.
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.).
• Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly
to load-bearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete expansion anchors to
concrete covered with plaster, drywall, or other
finishing 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" (16 mm), custom fasteners must be supplied by
installer (not evaluated by UL).

Use wall plate (B) as a template to mark center of

(8mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2.5"
(64mm). Insert anchors (E) into holes. Attach wall
plate to wall using three wood screws (D) and one
security wood screw (N) as shown in fig. 1.4. Level

Attach wall arm (A) to wall plate (B) with two
1/4-20 x 1/2" socket pin screws (P) as shown in

Installing Adapter Brackets
To prevent scratching the screen, set a cloth on a flat, level surface that will support the weight of the screen. Place
screen face side down. If screen has knobs on the back, remove them to allow the adapter brackets to be attached.
Place adapter brackets (C) on back of screen, align to holes, and center on back of screen as shown below. Attach
the adapter brackets to the back of the screen using the appropriate combination of screws, washers, and spacers
as shown in steps 2-1 or 2-2.
NOTE: Top and bottom holes must always be used.
Verify that all holes are properly aligned, and then tighten screws using a phillips screwdriver.
NOTE: For flat back screens proceed to step 2-1. For bump-out or recessed back screen skip to step 2-2.

NOTE: "X" dimensions should be equal.
• Tighten screws so adapter brackets are firmly attached. Do not tighten with excessive force. Overtightening can
cause stress damage to screws, greatly reducing their holding power and possibly causing screw heads to become
detached. Tighten to 40 in. • lb (4.5 N.M.) maximum torque.
• If screws don't get three complete turns in the screen inserts or if screws bottom out and bracket is still not tightly
secured, damage may occur to screen or product may fail.

Begin with the shortest length screw, hand thread through washer and adapter bracket into screen as shown
below. Screw must make at least three full turns into the mounting hole and fit snug into place. Do not over
tighten. If screw cannot make three full turns into the screen, select a longer length screw from the baffled
fastener pack. Repeat for remaining mounting holes, level brackets and tighten screws.
NOTE: Spacers may not be used, depending upon the type of screen.
Begin with longer length screw, hand thread through washer, adapter bracket and spacer in that order into screen
as shown below. Screw must make at least three full turns into the mounting hole and fit snug into place. Do not
over tighten. If screw cannot make three full turns into the screen, select a longer length screw from the baffled
fastener pack. Repeat for remaining mounting holes, level brackets and tighten screws.
