Peerless Industries SP 850P-S, SP 850-S manual Installation to Solid Concrete and Cinder Block Wall

Installation to Solid Concrete and Cinder Block Wall

WARNING

•When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" 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" 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.

2	Position wall mount assembly (A) at desired position on	1
	wall. Use wall mount assembly, making sure that it is		concrete
	level, as a template to mark holes. Drill four 1/4" (6 mm)		wall
	dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2-1/2" (64 mm). Con-
	crete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Insert anchors		E
	(E) in holes flush with wall as shown in figure 2.4. Place
	wall mount assembly over anchors and secure with #14 x
	2-1/2" (6 mm x 65 mm) wood screws (D) as shown in	Drill holes and insert anchors
	figure 2.5. Make sure wall plate is level and tighten all
	fasteners.	2	A
	WARNING
• Tighten wood screws firmly, but do not overtighten.		D	E
	Overtightening can damage the screws, greatly
	reducing their holding power.	Place wall plate (A) over anchors and secure with

WARNING

• Concrete anchors are not intended for attachment to
	concrete wall covered with a layer of plaster, drywall,				Tighten all fasteners
	or other finishing material as shown below. If mounting
	to concrete wall covered with plaster/drywall is				fig 2.4
	unavoidable, plaster/drywall (up to 5/8" thick) must be
					SOLIDCONCRETE
	counterbored as shown below. Be sure concrete
	anchors do not pull away from concrete when tighten-					CINDER
	ing screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than						BLOCK
	5/8", custom fasteners must be supplied by installer.				E
