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.

• 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.

mouting holes. Drill six
5/32" (4 mm)
dia. holes to a
minimum depth of 2.5" (65 mm). Insert six anchors (

holes flush with wall as shown (right). Fasten two #14 x
2.5" wood screws (
Q
) into top anchors (
U

exposed thread for each screw (
Q
) as shown. Hook wall
mount assembly (
A
) onto #14 x 2.5" wood screws (
Q

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 (
