Installation to Double Wood Stud Wall
• 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 rmly 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 nder
is highly recommended.
• Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs. Install-
ers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations.

2Wall plate (A) can be mounted to four studs that are 16" apart. Use a stud nder to locate the edges of the studs.
Use of an edge-to-edge stud nder is highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down each
stud’s center. Place wall plate on wall as a template. Level plate, and mark the center of the four mounting holes.
Make sure that the mounting holes are on the stud center lines. Drill four 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2.5" (65 mm)
deep. Make sure that the wall plate is level, secure it using four #14 x 2.5" wood screws (F) as shown in gure 2.2.

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
• 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 specica-
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 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 hard-
ware and components.
WARNING
• Always attach concrete anchors directly to load-
bearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete anchors to concrete covered
with plaster, drywall, or other nishing material.
If mounting to concrete surfaces covered with
a nishing surface is unavoidable, the nishing
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.
WARNING
• Tighten screws so that wall plate is rmly 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.).
