Installation to Single Wood Stud Wall
Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the stud. Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended.
Based on its edges, draw a vertical line down the stud’s center. Place wall plate (B) on wall as a template, making
sure that the three mounting holes are over the stud centerline. The top mounting hole should be 2.5" above the
desired screen center as shown in figure 1.1. Level plate, and mark the center of the three holes. Drill three 5/32"
(4 mm) dia. holes 2-1/2" (64 mm) deep. Make sure that the wall plate is level, secure it using three #14 x 2.5" wood
screws (C) as shown in figure 1.2.
Skip to step 2 on page 7.

• 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.

Installation to Double Wood Stud Wall
Wall plate (B) can be mounted to two studs that are 16" apart. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs.
Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down each
stud’s center. Place wall plate on wall as a template. The top mounting slots should be 2.5" above the desired
screen center as shown in figure 1.3. Level plate, and mark the center of the four mounting holes. Make sure that
the mounting holes are on the stud centerlines. Drill four 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2-1/2" (64 mm) deep. Make sure
that the wall plate is level, secure it using four #14 x 2.5" wood screws (C) as shown in figure 1.4.

Make sure that wall plate (B) is level, use it as a
template to mark four mounting holes. The top
mounting hole should be 2.5" above the desired
screen center as shown in figure 1.1 on page 4. Drill
four 5/16" (8 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of
2.5" (64 mm). Insert anchors (D) in holes flush with
wall as shown (right). Place wall plate over anchors
and secure with #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" 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 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,
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.
