Placement and Orientation of Covers
Determine location and confi guration of cable management that best routes cables from component to outlets.

Example of confi gurations are shown below. Cable management covers (A) can be cut for a desired length as
shown in detail 1.
NOTE: It is recommended that a hacksaw be used in order to cut cable covers to desired length prior to installation.

Installation to Wood/Metal Stud Wall or Drywall
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 mounting bases are fi rmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can dam-
age the screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 25 in. • lb (2.5 N.M.).
• Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs. Installers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations.
Drill one 1/4" (6 mm) dia. mounting hole to a minimum depth of 1.5" for each mounting base (C).
3
Insert anchor (F) into hole, fl ush with drywall. Fasten mounting bases (C) to wall using one #8 x 1"
phillips screw (G) for each mounting base.
NOTE: Be certain channel fl anges on mounting bases are in the orientation as in fi g. 3.1 and 3.2
for left or right confi guration.

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
WARNING
• When installing Peerless mounting bases 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 specifi -
cations. 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.
Make sure that mounting base (C) pilot holes are
3
level. Drill 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth
of 1.5" (64 mm) for each mounting base. Insert
anchors (F) in holes fl ush with mounting surface as
shown (right). Place mounting base over anchor and
secure with #8 x 1" phillips screws (G). Level, then
tighten all fasteners.
NOTE: Head of anchor must touch mounting
surface.
NOTE: Be certain channel fl anges on mounting
bases are in the orientation as in fi g. 3.1 and 3.2 of
page 5 for left or right confi guration.
