Installation to Concrete Ceilings
• When installing Peerless wall mounts on a concrete ceiling, it must be at least 8" thick with a minimum compressive
strength of 2000 psi. 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-
Place ceiling plate (A) on ceiling as a template and
2
mark the center of the two mounting holes.
Note: Opening in outer channel indicates the front
of the mount.
Drill two 5/16" (8 mm) dia. holes to a minimum
depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Attach ceiling plate (A) using
two concrete anchors (I) and two #14 x 2.5" wood
screws (H) as shown in figure 2.3. Tighten wood
screws (H) until ceiling plate (A) is firmly attached.
WARNING
• 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
• Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly
to load-bearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete expansion anchors to
concrete covered with plaster, drywall, or other
finishing material.
WARNING
1
Drill holes and insert anchors (I).
2
Place plate (A) over anchors (I) and secure with screws (H).
3
Tighten all fasteners.
