Installation to Wood Stud Wall
• 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.
WARNING
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.

Using a stud finder, locate the edges of the wood studs used in mounting this product. Use of an edge-to-edge stud
finder is highly recommended. Based on its edges and using a level, draw a vertical line down the center of each
stud. Mark a point (point 1) on the right stud centerline 4-5/8" above the center of screen as shown in figure 1.1.
Hold wall plate (AA) over point 1. Using a level to ensure plate is horizontal, mark three more points (points 2,3,
and 4) as shown in figure 1.2.
Drill 5/32" diameter holes 2-1/2" deep through studs at the four points.
Loosely fasten wall plate (AA) to wall using four #14 x 2-1/2" wood screws (CC) as shown in figure 1.3.
Note: For ease of installation, start with the top right wood screw first and work counterclockwise.
Level, hold, and then tighten all screws.

Position wall plate (AA) on wall so that upper slots are 4-5/8"
above desired center of screen. Use wall plate (AA), making
sure that it is level, as a template to mark holes. Drill four 1/4"
(6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2-1/2" (64 mm).
Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Insert anchors
(DD) in holes flush with wall as shown in figure 1.4. Place wall
plate (AA) over anchors and secure with #14 x 2-1/2" (6 mm
x 65 mm) wood screws (CC) as shown in figure 1.5. Make
sure wall plate is level and tighten all fasteners.

• Tighten wood screws firmly, 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 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.
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.
