Installation to Solid Concrete and Cinder Block
1
• 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 hole when enteringa void orcavity.
• 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
hardwareandcomponents.
WARNING
Removecord covers from wall arm(A) as shownin
figure 1.6. Level and use wall arm as template to
mark center of holes. Drill two 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes
to a minimum depth of 2" (51 mm). Insert anchors (F)
in holes flush with wall as shown in fig 1.8. Place wall
arm(A) over anchorand secure with wood screw(G)
as shown in figures 1.9 and 1.11. Make sure wall arm
is level, and tighten all fasteners. See figure 1.10.
• Concrete anchors are notintendedfor attachment to
concretewall covered witha layer ofplaster,drywall,
orother finishing material asshown below. If mounting
toconcrete wall coveredwith plaster/drywall is
unavoidable,plaster/drywall (up to5/8" thick) mustbe
counterboredas shown below. Besureconcrete
anchorsdo not pullaway from concretewhen tighten-
ing screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than
5/8", custom fasteners must be supplied by installer.
