Installation to Wood Joist Ceilings or Wood Stud Walls
WARNING
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.
• Tighten wood screws so that ceiling/wall plate is firmly attached, 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.).
• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the stud or joist. The use of an "edge to edge" stud
finder is highly recommended.
• Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs or joists.
Installers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations (not UL approved).
NOTE: Wall installation with models EXC, EXC-S and EXC-W is not available.
2
Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the stud or joist. Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly
recommended. Based on its edges, draw a vertical line down the stud's or joist’s center . Place ceiling/wall plate (A)
on wall or ceiling as a template, making sure that the two mounting slots are on the centerline.
For ceiling installation: Opening on outer channel (B) indicates front of mount. Use the correct mounting slots on
the ceiling/wall plate depending on ceiling joist orientation as shown in figure 2.1 and figure 2.2. Mounting slots on
ceiling plate allow for 45° (±22.5) of rotation before securing to joist.
For wall installation: Opening on outer channel (B) indicates top of mount.
Mark the center of the two mounting holes. Drill two 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2-1/2" (65 mm) deep. Secure
ceiling/wall plate (A) to wood stud or joist using two #14 x 2-1/2" wood screws (H) and two flat washers (O)
as shown.

Installation to Concrete Ceilings or Concrete/Cinder Block Walls
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 .
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.
NOTE: Wall installation with models EXC, EXC-S
2
and EXC-W is not available.
Place ceiling/wall plate (A) on ceiling or wall as a
template. Note: Place ceiling/wall plate according
to position of opening in outer channel (B) as shown
in figure 2.4. or figure 2.5. Drill two 1/4" (6 mm) dia.
holes to a minimum depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Attach
ceiling/wall plate (A) using two concrete anchors (J),
two #14 x 2.5" wood screws (H) and two washers (O)
as shown in figure 2.6. Tighten wood screws (H) until
ceiling/wall 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. 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 tightening screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker
than 5/8" (16 mm), custom fasteners must be supplied by installer (not UL approved).
