4"
(102 mm)
Wall plate (AA) can be mounted to two studs that are 16" apart. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs.
Useof an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended. Based on theiredges, draw avertical line downeach
stud’s center. Place wall plate on wall as a template. The top mounting slots should be located 6.2" (157.5 mm)
above the desired screen center as shown in figure 1.1. Level plate, and mark the center of the four mounting holes.
Make sure that the mounting holes are on the stud centerlines. Drill four 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2-1/2" (65 mm)
deep. Make sure that the wall plate is level, secure it using four #14 x 2.5" wood screws (DD) as shown in figure 1.2.
NOTE: Wall plate may be mounted up to 4" (102 mm) off center as shown in figure 1.1.
Skip to step 2.

• 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.
• Hardwareprovidedis for attachment ofmountthrough standard thickness drywallorplaster into wood studs. Installers

• Always attach concrete anchors directly to load-
bearingconcrete.
• Neverattachconcreteanchorstoconcretecovered
withplaster, drywall,or other finishing material.If
mountingtoconcrete surfaces covered with a finishing
surfaceisunavoidable, the finishing surface must be
counterboredasshown below.Be sure concrete
anchorsdo not pull away fromconcrete when
tightening screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than
5/8", custom fasteners must be supplied by installer.
(Notevaluated by UL)
Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
1Make sure that wall plate (AA) is level, use it as a
template to mark four mountingholes. The top mounting
slots should be located 6.2" (157.5 mm) above the
desired screen center as shown in figure 1.1 on page 4.
Drill four 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of
2.5" (65 mm). Insert anchors (EE) in holes flush with wall
asshown (right). Place wall plate over anchors and
secure with #14 x 2.5" screws (DD). Level, then tighten
allfasteners.
• 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.
• Installermust verify that thesupporting surface will safelysupport the combined loadof the equipment andall attached
hardwareand components.

Installing Adapter Brackets
To prevent scratching the screen, set a cloth on a flat, level surface that will support the weight of the screen. Place
screen face side down. If screen has knobs on the back, remove them to allow the adapter brackets to be attached.
Place adapter brackets (BB or CC) on back of screen, align to holes, and center on back of screen as shown below.
Attach the adapter brackets to the back of the screen using the appropriate combination of screws, multi-washers,
and spacers as shown in figure 2.1 or 2.2.
NOTE: Top and bottom holes must always be used.
Verify thatall holes are properlyaligned, and then tightenscrews using a phillips screwdriver.
Notes:
• Thenumberoffastenersusedwillvary,
dependinguponthe type of screen.
• Multi-washers and spacers may not be
used,depending upon the type ofscreen.
• Use the corresponding hole in the multi-
washer that matches your screw size.
• Tightenscrews so adapter bracketsare firmly attached. Donottighten with excessive force.Overtightening can cause
stress damage to screws, greatly reducing their holding power and possibly causing screw heads to become
detached. Tighten to 40 in. • lb (4.5 N.M.) maximum torque.
• If screws don't get three complete turns in the screen inserts or if screws bottom out and bracket is still not tightly
secured, damage may occur to screen or product may fail.
