Installation to Wood Stud Wall
CL = stud centerline
Using a stud finder, locate the edges of the wood studs used in mounting this product. Use of an edge-to-edge stud
finder is highly recommended. Based on its edges and using a level, draw a vertical line down the center of each
stud. Mark a point (point 1) on the right stud centerline where upper right slot will be located. Using a level, mark a
point (point 2) on the left stud centerline level with point 1 as shown in figure 2.1. Drill 5/32" diameter holes 2-1/2"
deep through studs at the two points. Loosely fasten wall mount assembly (A) to wall using two #14 x 2-1/2" wood
screws (D) as shown in figure 2.2. Level, hold, and then tighten screws.
Mark two more points for bottom slots on the right and left stud centerlines. Drill 5/32" diameter holes 2-1/2" deep
through studs at the two points. Using two #14 x 2-1/2" wood screws, fasten bottom of wall mount assembly to wall
as shown in figure 2.3.

• 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.

Position wall mount assembly (A) at desired position
on wall. Use wall mount assembly, making sure that
it is level, as a template to mark holes. Drill four 1/4"
(6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2-1/2"
(64 mm). Concrete must be 2000 psi density mini-
mum. Insert anchors (E) in holes flush with wall as
shown in figure 2.4. Place wall mount assembly over
anchors and secure with #14 x 2-1/2" wood screws
(D) as shown in figure 2.5. Make sure wall plate is
level and tighten all fasteners.
Installation to Solid Concrete and Cinder Block Wall
2
• 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 meet ASTM 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.
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hard-
ware and components.

• 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 anchors directly to load-
bearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete anchors to concrete covered
with plaster, drywall, or other finishing material.
If mounting to concrete surfaces covered with a
finishing surface is unavoidable, 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", custom fasteners must be supplied by
installer (not evaluated by UL).

Installing Adapter Plate
Thread two M10 x 15 mm screws (K), leaving .25" exposed thread, into top holes on back of adapter plate (EE).
Hook adapter plate (EE) to mounting plate and attach using two bottom M10 x 15 mm screws (K) as shown in fig-
ures 4.1 and 4.2. Tighten screws using 6 mm allen wrench (not included).

Note: "X" dimensions should be equal.
• Tighten screws so adapter brackets are firmly attached. 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.
WARNING
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. Refer to screen manufacturers instructions or customer service, for removing any knobs,
base, cover, or screw(s) on the back of the screen to prepare mounting. These need to be removed to allow the
adapter brackets to be attached. Select the small, medium, large or extra large screws from the baffled fastener
pack then attach adapter brackets (FF or GG) to screen following figure 5.1 or 5.2.
NOTE: Top and bottom mounting holes on screen must be used for attaching brackets. Verify that all holes are
properly aligned, and then tighten screws using a phillips screwdriver.

Begin with the shortest length screw, hand thread through multi-washer and adapter bracket 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 brackets and tighten screws.
NOTE: Spacers may not be used, depending upon the type of screen.
Begin with longer length screw, hand thread through multi-washer, adapter bracket 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 brackets and tighten screws.
