WOOD STUD
Installation to Wall Stud
A
• 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 attac hed, 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 (not evaluated by UL).
• When installing Peerless wall mounts on a wood stud wall covered with gypsum board (drywall), verify that the
woods studs are a minimum of 2 " x4 " nominal size. When installing to more than one stud, insure the spacing be-
tween studs is at least 16 " but does not exceed 24 " . Do not install over gypsum board thicker than 5/8 " .
WARNING
Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the stud. Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended.
Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down the stud center. Place pull-out mount assembly ( A) on wall as
a template. Level plate, and mark the center of the four mounting holes. Make sure that the mounting holes are
on the stud center line. Drill four 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2-1/2" (65 mm) deep. Make sure that the pull-out mount
assembly ( A) is level, secure it using four #14 x 2.5" wood screws (E) and fender washers (G) as shown below.
