Peerless Industries PWS211, PF640 manual Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block

WARNING

•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 specifi cations. 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.

1	Make sure that wall plate (AA) is level, use it as
	a template to mark four mounting holes. The top	1		concrete

	desired screen center as shown in fi gure 1.1 on			DD

	depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Insert anchors (DD) in holes	Drill holes and insert anchors (DD).

•	Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly to
	load-be aring concrete.
•	Never attach concrete expansion anchors to concrete

	wall is thicker than 5/8" (16 mm), custom fasteners
	must be supplied by installer (not evaluated by UL).
