Installation to Wood Stud Wall
Using a stud finder, locate and mark the edges of the wood stud used in mounting this product. 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. Use wall
plate as template to mark center of holes along the vertical line. Drill two 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2.5" (65 mm)
deep.Attach wall mount (A) to wall using two #14 x 2.5" flat head wood screws (H) as shown.
Skip to step 2 on page 6.

• Concrete anchors are notintended forattachment to
concretewall coveredwitha layerof plaster, drywall,
orother finishingmaterial asshown below. Ifmounting
toconcrete wallcoveredwith plaster/drywallis
unavoidable,plaster/drywall (up to5/8" thick)must be

5/8", custom fasteners must be supplied by installer
(notULevaluated).
WARNING
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 thehole when enteringa voidor 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
hardwareand components.
WARNING
Level and use wall plate as template to mark
center of holes. Drill two 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes to
a minimum depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Insert anchors
(B) in holes flush with wall as shown in fig 1.1.
Place wall mount (A) over anchors and secure with
wood screws (H) as shown in figures 1.2 and 1.4.
Make sure wall mount is level, and tighten all
fasteners. See figure 1.3.
