2b. Mount on Solid Brick and Concrete Block
WARNING
• When installing wall mounts onto a concrete masonry unit (also known as a CMU or “cinder block”),
verify that the actual concrete thickness is at least 35 mm (1-3/8”) in order to hold the concrete
anchors. DO NOT DRILL INTO MORTAR JOINTS! Be sure to mount the assembled wall-mount plate
with the included concrete anchors, D6 washers and anchor bolts onto solid sections of the blocks.
The solid sections can generally be found 25 mm (1”) toward the middle of the block from either
end. An electric drill on a slow setting is suggested to drill the hole rather than a hammer drill so
as to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a hollow section.
• Installers must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the
equipment and all attached hardware and components.
