Installation to Wood Stud Wall
Remove cord covers from wall arm assembly (A) as shown in figure 1.1. Using a stud finder, locate and mark the
edges of the wood stud used in mounting this product. Use of an edge to edge stud finder is highly recommended.
Use a level to draw a vertical line down the center of the stud. Use wall plate as template to mark center of holes
along the vertical line. Drill two 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2.5" (64 mm) deep. Attach wall mount (A) to wall using two
#14 x 63.5 mm flat head wood screws (H) as shown in figure 1.2.
Skip to step 2 on page 6.

• 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. Install-
ers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations (not UL approved).

Installation to Solid Concrete and Cinder Block
Remove cord covers from wall arm assembly (A)
as shown in figure 1.1. Level and use wall plate as
template to mark center of holes. Drill two 5/16"
(8 mm) dia. hole to a minimum depth of 2.5" (64
mm). Insert anchors (B) in holes flush with wall.
Place wall mount (A) over anchor and secure with
wood screw (H). Make sure wall mount is level, and
tighten all fasteners.

WALL PLATE
• Tighten 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.).
WARNING
• 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.
WARNING
• Concrete anchors are not intended for attachment
to concrete wall covered with a layer of plaster,
drywall, or other finishing material as shown below.
If mounting to concrete wall covered with plaster/
drywall is unavoidable, plaster/drywall (up to 5/8"
thick) 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 (not UL evaluated).
