Installation to Solid Concrete and Cinder Block
WARNING
•When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of
•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 hardware and components.
1 | Level and use wall plate as template to mark center |
of holes. Drill two 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes to a |
minimum depth of 2" (51 mm). Insert anchors (E) in holes flush with wall as shown in fig 1.3. Place wall arm (A) over anchor and secure with wood screw (D) as shown in figures 1.4 and 1.6. Make sure wall arm is level, and tighten all fasteners. See figure 1.5.
WARNING
•Tighten screws so that wall plate is firmly attached, 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.).
WARNING
•Concrete anchors are not intended for attachment to concrete wall covered with a layer of plaster, drywall, or other finishing material as shown below. If mounting to concrete wall covered with plaster/drywall is unavoidable, plaster/drywall (up to 5/8" thick) must be counterbored as shown below. Be sure concrete anchors do not pull away from concrete when tighten- ing screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than
5/8", custom fasteners must be supplied by installer.
