For mounting under a surface
Measure the height of the component to be placed onto
the mount, this measurement will be referred to as h.
Determine minimum distance xfrom surface bottom to
mounting hole centers using the formula x = h - 0.5" or
x = h - 13 mm
Note: If height of component is less than 4.5" (114 mm),
a minimum distance of 4" (102 mm) is required for x.
For mounting above a surface locate mounting hole
centers no less than 7.25" from top surface.

Wall plate (B) can be mounted to two studs that are 16" apart. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs.
Useofanedge-to-edgestudfinder is highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down each
stud’s center. Determine the mounting location of wall plate using the formula in step one. Place wall plate on wall
as a template. Level plate, and mark the center of the two mounting holes. Make sure that the mounting holes are
on the stud centerlines. Drill two 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2-1/2" (65 mm) deep. Make sure that the wall plate is
level, secure it using two #14 x 2.5" wood screws (E) as shown below.
Skip to step 3 on page 6.
Installation to Wood Stud Wall
• Installermust verify that the supporting surface will safelysupport the combined load of the equipment andallattached
hardwareandcomponents.
• Tightenwood screws so that wall plateisfirmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtighteningcan damage the
screws,greatly reducing theirholding 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
highlyrecommended.
• Hardwareprovided is for attachment ofmount through standard thickness drywallor plaster into wood studs.Installers
areresponsible to providehardware for othertypes of mounting situations.

Determinethemounting location of wall plate (B) using
the formula in step one. Make sure that wall plate is
level, use it as a template to mark two mounting holes.
Drill two 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of
2.5" (64 mm). Insert anchors (D) in holes flush with
wallasshown(right).Placewall plate over anchors
and secure with #14 x 2.5" screws (E). Level, then
tightenall fasteners.
Skip to step 3 on page 6.
Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
2
• 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 meetASTM C-90 specifica-
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.
• Makesurethatthesupportingsurface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hard-
wareand components.
