Make sure that wall plate ( A) is level, use it as a
template to mark two mounting holes. Drill two 5/16"
(8 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2.5"
(64 mm). Insert anchors ( E) in holes flush with wall
as shown. Place wall plate over anchors and secure
with two #14 x 2.5" screws ( D). Level, then tighten all
fasteners.
Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
1
• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" (35 mm) 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" (25 mm) minimum from the side of the block. Cinder block must meet
ASTM C-90 specifications. 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 expansion anchors directly
to load-bearing concrete.
• 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 as
shown below. Be sure concrete anchors do not
pull away from concrete when tightening screws.
If plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8" (16 mm),
custom fasteners must be supplied by installer (not
evaluated by UL).
