Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs and draw a vertical line down each stud’s center. Place wall
plate on wall as a template. The top mounting hole should be located 3.5" (89 mm) above the desired screen
center as shown in figure 1.1. Drill two 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes to a depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Attach wall mount
assembly (A) to wall with two #14 x 2.5" flat head wood screws (H) using #3 phillips screwdriver bit (U) as shown
in figure 1.2.
Insert two screw covers (S) into mounting holes.

• 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. Install-
ers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations (not evaluated by UL).
WARNING

Installation to Solid Concrete and Cinder Block
• 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
hardware and components.
WARNING
Use wall plate as template to mark center of holes.
The top mounting hole should be located 3.5"
(89 mm) above the desired screen center as shown
in figure 1.1 on page 4. Drill two 5/16" (8 mm) dia.
holes to a minimum depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Insert
anchors (B) into holes. Place wall mount (A) over
anchors and
attach wall mount (A) to wall using
two #14 x 2.5" flat head wood screws (H) using #3
phillips screwdriver bit (U).
Insert two screw covers (S) into mounting holes.

• 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).
