make sure that wires are run through
wire management slot
*
before mounting
base unit (A) to wall or ceiling.
When using extension column, be sure to mount
base unit (A) with wire management slot
*
facing
right so that wire management hole in extension
(B)
**
is facing down. Remember to run wires
through wire management hole before mounting
base unit (A) to wall or ceiling.
For Attachment to Wood Stud Walls:
Use a stud finder to locate center of
stud. Drill two 3/16" (5 mm) dia. holes to
a minimum depth of 2" (51 mm). Attach
mounting base unit (A) to center of
wood stud using two wood screws (V)
and two plastic screw plugs (T) as
shown left.
IMPORTANT: Make sure wall bracket is
level on wall.
For Attachment to Concrete or Direct Attachment to Drywall
for Speakers Under 10 lb: Drill one 1/4" (6 mm) dia. hole to a
minimum depth of 2" (51 mm). Insert one anchor (U) in hole flush with
wall. Place mounting base unit (A) over anchor (U) and secure with
one wood screw (V) and one plastic screw plug (T). Make sure wall
bracket is level, mark other hole and repeat steps with other
fasteners. Tighten all fasteners.
IMPORTANT: Make sure wall bracket is level on wall.
• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block,
verify that you have a minimum of 1 5/8" of actual
concrete surface in the 1/4" diameter hole to be used
for the concrete anchors. 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. Do
not drill into mortar joints!
• 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, the finishing surface
must be counterbored.
• Tighten concrete anchor bolt firmly, but do not over-
tighten. Overtightening can damage the bolt, greatly
reducing its holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in • lb (9 N.M.).
