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 meetASTM 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
breakingout 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.
• Makesure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hard-
wareand components.
WARNING
CUTAWAYVIEW
• Tighten screws so that wall mount is firmly attached,
butdo not overtighten.Overtightening candamage
screws,greatly reducing their holdingpower.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).

• Always attach concrete anchors directly to load-

• Neverattach concrete anchorsto concrete covered
withplaster,drywall, or other finishing material. If
mountingto concrete surfaces coveredwitha finishing
surfaceis unavoidable, the finishing surfacemust be

anchorsdo not pull away from concrete when tighten-
ing screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8",
custom fasteners must be supplied by installer.

Use wall mount assembly (A) as a template to mark
mouting holes. Drill six 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes to a
minimum depth of 2.5" (65 mm). Insert six anchors (U) in
holes flush with wall as shown (right). Fasten two #14 x
2.5" wood screws (Q) into top anchors (U) leaving a .25" of
exposed thread for each screw (Q) as shown. Hook wall
mount assembly (A) onto #14 x 2.5" wood screws (Q) as
shown in fig. 2.3. Fasten four #14 x 2.5" wood screws (Q)
into wall mount assembly (A) as shown. Make sure that the
wall mount assembly (A) is level, tighten all six #14 x 2.5"
woodscrews (Q).
