Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block

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.
WARNING
CUTAWA Y VIEW
Tighten screws so that wall mount 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.).
WARNING
SOLID
CONCRETE
CINDER BLOCK
Always attach concrete anchors directly to load-
bearing concrete.
Never attach concrete 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 tighten-
ing screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8",
custom fasteners must be supplied by installer.

Use wall mount assembly (A) as a template to mark
mouting holes. Drill six 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes to a
minimum depth of 2.5" (65 mm). Insert six anchors (U) in
holes flush with wall as shown (right). Fasten two #14 x
2.5" wood screws (Q) into top anchors (U) leaving a .25" of
exposed thread for each screw (Q) as shown. Hook wall
mount assembly (A) onto #14 x 2.5" wood screws (Q) as
shown in fig. 2.3. Fasten four #14 x 2.5" wood screws (Q)
into wall mount assembly (A) as shown. Make sure that the
wall mount assembly (A) is level, tighten all six #14 x 2.5"
wood screws (Q).
Skip to step 3.
