Using a stud finder, locate and mark the edges of the wood stud. Use of an edge to edge stud finder is highly
recommended. Use a level to draw a vertical line down the center of the stud and use wall plate (A) as template to
mark center of holes along the vertical line. The top mounting holes should be 7.54" (192 mm) above the desired
screen center as shown in figure 1.1. Drill three 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes to a depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Attach wall arm
(A) to wall with three wood screws (C) using #3 phillips screwdriver bit (L) as shown in fig. 1.2. Level plate, then
tighten all fasteners.
Insert three fastener caps (F) into wall plate mounting holes.
Installation to Single Wood Stud Wall
1
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all
attached hardware and components.
• 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.
• Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs.
Installers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations (not evaluated by UL).

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
Use wall arm (A) as template to mark mounting holes.
The top mounting hole should be 7.54" (192 mm) above
the desired screen center as shown in figure 1.1 on
page 5. Drill three 5/16" (8 mm) dia. holes 2.5" (64 mm)
deep as shown in fig. 1.3. Insert anchors (D) into holes
flush with wall as shown. Place wall arm over anchors
and secure with three wood screws (C) using #3
screwdriver bit (L). Level, then tighten all fasteners.
Insert three fastener caps (F) into wall plate mounting
holes.

• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" (35 mm) 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" (25 mm) minimum from the side of the block. Cinder block must meet ASTM
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 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 hard-
ware and components.
WARNING
• Tighten screws so that wall plate is firmly attached,
but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage
screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).
• Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly
to load-bearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete expansion anchors to
concrete covered with plaster, drywall, or other
finishing material. If mounting to concrete surfaces
covered with a finishing surface is unavoidable (not
evaluated by UL), the finishing surface must be
counterbored as shown below. Be sure concrete
anchors do not pull away from concrete when
tightening screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than
5/8" (16 mm), custom fasteners must be supplied
by installer (not evaluated by UL).

NOTE: For dedicated PLP plate skip to step 3 on page 9.
Remove four 1/4-20 x .6" screws using 5 mm allen wrench (I) and loosen two 1/4-20 x 1.25" screws 1/2 turn to
allow for screen bracket adjustment.
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 and refer to screen manufacturers instructions for removal obstructions from the
back of the screen to prepare for mounting screen brackets to screen. Adjust screen brackets to align with screen
mounting holes as shown below. Select the small, medium, large or extra large screws from the baffled fastener
pack, then attach screen brackets to screen following step 2-1 or 2-2 on page 8.
NOTE: Top and bottom mounting holes must be used for attaching screen brackets. Middle holes should also be
used where the fasteners and screens allow. Verify that all holes are properly aligned, then tighten screws using a
phillips screw driver.

• Tighten screws so screen brackets are firmly attached to screen. Do not tighten 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.

Begin with the shortest length screw, hand thread screw through multi-washer and screen brackets (B) into screen
as shown below. Screw must make at least three full turns into the mounting hole and fit snug into place. Do not
over tighten. If screw cannot make three full turns into the screen, select a longer length screw from the baffled
fastener pack. Repeat for remaining mounting holes, level screen brackets and tighten screws.
NOTE: Spacers may not be used, depending upon the type of screen.
Begin with longer length screw, hand thread screw through multi-washer, screen brackets (B) and spacer in that
order into screen as shown below. Screw must make at least three full turns into the mounting hole and fit snug
into place. Do not over tighten. If screw cannot make three full turns into the screen, select a longer length screw
from the baffled fastener pack. Repeat for remaining mounting holes, level screen brackets and tighten screws.
