Installation To Solid Concrete Or Cinder Block - PEERLESS Mounts EWMU Instalación Y Ensamblaje

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block

• When installing Peerless wall mounts on a concrete wall, the wall must be at least 8" thick with a minimum compres-
sive strength of 2000 psi. When installing Peerless wall mounts on a cinder block wall, the cinder blocks must meet
ASTM C-90 specifi cations and have a minimum nominal width of 8". Do not drill into mortar joints! Be sure to mount
in a solid part of the block, generally 1" (25 mm) minimum from the side of the block. 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. Never attach concrete expansion anchors to concrete or cinder block covered
with plaster, drywall or other fi nishing material.
Make sure that wall plate (A) is level, use it as a
1
template to mark four mounting holes. The top
mounting slots should be located 1.76" (45 mm)
above the desired screen center as shown in
fi gure 1.1 on page 4. Drill four 5/16" (8 mm) dia.
holes to a minimum depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Insert
anchors (E) in holes fl ush with wall as shown
(right). Place wall plate over anchors and secure
with #14 x 2.5" screws (D) and fender washers
(M). Level, then tighten all fasteners.
WARNING
• Tighten screws so that wall plate is fi rmly 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.).
• Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly
to load-bearing concrete.
