For Concrete Surfaces use wall bracket (A), making sure
that it is level, as a template to mark holes. Drill 1/4" (6 mm)
dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Insert
anchors (N) in holes flush with wall as shown (right). Place
wall bracket (A) over anchors (N) and secure with #14 x 2.5"
(6 mm x 65 mm) wood screws (J) and screw head covers
(K). Tighten screws with phillips screwdriver (not provided)

• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1 5/8" of actual concrete
surface in the 1/4" diameter 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
hammerdrill to avoid breaking outthe back ofthe holewhen entering avoid 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
hardwareand components.
• Neverexceed the Maximum Load Capacityof 90lb (40.9kg).
