Position wall mount assembly (A) at desired position on
wall. Use wall mount assembly, making sure that it is
level, as a template to mark holes. Drill four 1/4" (6 mm)
dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2-1/2" (64 mm). Con-
crete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Insert anchors
(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
figure 2.5. Make sure wall plate is level and tighten all
fasteners.

• Tighten wood screws firmly, 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
• 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.

• 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.
