Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
1Make sure that wall plate (A) is level, use it as a
template to mark two mounting holes. Drill two 1/4"
(6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2.5" (64
mm). Insert anchors (H) in holes flush with wall as
shown(right). Placewall plateover anchorsand
secure with two #14 x 2.5" screws (G). Level, then
tightenall fasteners.
Skip to step 2 on page 6 for VESA 200 mm and
200 mm x 200 mm patterns.
Skip to step 2 on page 7 for VESA 75 mm and
100 mm patterns.
• 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.
• Make sure that the wall will safely support four times the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware
and components.

Drill holes and insert anchors (H).
Place plate (A)over anchors (H) and secure with screws (G).
Tighten all fasteners.
• Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly to
load-bearingconcrete.

WARNING
A
• 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.).
