Position access plate (B) at desired position on wall.Use
access plate (B), making sure that it is level, as a tem-
plate to mark holes. Drill six 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes to a
minimumdepth of 2-1/2"(64 mm). Concretemust be 2000
psi density minimum. Insert anchors (G) in holes flush
with wall as shown in figure 2.3. Place access plate (B)
over anchors and secure with six #14 x 2-1/2" (6 mm x 65
mm) wood screws (H) as shown in figure 2.4. Make sure
wall plate is level and tighten all fasteners.

• Tighten wood screws firmly,but do notovertighten.
Overtighteningcandamage the screws, greatly
reducingtheirholdingpower.
• 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 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 backof the holewhen entering avoid or cavity.
• Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor.
• Makesure thatthe supporting surface will safelysupport thecombined load of the equipmentand allattached hard-
wareandcomponents.
