Installation to Single Wood Stud Wall
1Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the stud. Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended. Based
on its edges, draw a vertical line down the stud’s center. Place wall plate (AA) on wall as a template, making sure
thatthe three mounting holes are over the stud centerline. The topmounting hole should be 2.5" above the desired
screen center as shown in figure 1.1. Level plate, and mark the center of the three holes. Drill three 5/32" (4 mm) dia.
holes 2-1/2" (65 mm) deep. Make sure that the wall plate is level, secure it using three #14 x 2.5" wood screws (CC)
as shown in figure 1.2.
Skip to step 2 on page 7.
• Installermust verify that the supportingsurface will safely support thecombined weight of all attachedequipment and
hardware.
WARNING
• 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.
• Hardwareprovidedis for attachment of mount throughstandard thickness drywall or plaster intowoodstuds. Installers

Installation to Double Wood Stud Wall
1Wall 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-edgestud finder is highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down each
stud’s center. Place wall plate on wall as a template. The top mounting slots should be 2.5" above the desired
screen center as shown in figure 1.3. 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 (CC) as shown in figure 1.4.

• 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

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
mountinghole should be 2.5"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" (64 mm). Insert anchors (DD) in holes flush with
wallas shown (right).Place wall plate over anchors
and secure with #14 x 2.5" screws (CC). Level, then
tightenall fasteners.
• 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.
• Makesure that thesupporting surface willsafely support thecombined load of the equipment and all attached hard-
wareandcomponents.
