• This product should only be installed by someone of good mechanical aptitude, has experience with basic building
construction, and fully understands these instructions.
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.
• Never exceed the Maximum Load Capacity. See page one.
• If mounting to wood wall studs, make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the studs. Use of
an "edge to edge" stud fi nder is highly recommended.
• Always use an assistant or mechanical lifting equipment to safely lift and position equipment.
• Tighten screws fi rmly, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the items, greatly reducing their holding
power.

Before you begin, make sure all parts shown are included with your product.
A
Parts may appear slightly different than illustrated.
Measure the height of the component to be placed onto
the mount, this measurement will be referred to as H.
Determine minimum distance X from surface bottom to
mounting hole centers using the formula X = H - 0.5" or
X = H - 13 mm
Note: If height of component is less than 4.5" (114
mm), a minimum distance of 4" (102 mm) is required for
X.
For mounting above a surface locate mounting hole
centers no less than 7.25" from surface top.

Installation to Wood Stud Wall
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 wall plate is fi rmly 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. The use of an "edge to edge" stud fi nder
is highly recommended.
• 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.
Wall plate (B) can be mounted to two studs that are 16" apart. Use a stud fi nder to locate the edges of the studs.
2
Use of an edge-to-edge stud fi nder is highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down
each stud’s center. Determine the mounting location of wall plate using the formula in step one. Place wall plate
on wall as a template. Level plate, and mark the center of the two mounting holes. Make sure that the mounting
holes are on the stud centerlines. Drill two 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2-1/2" (64 mm) deep. Make sure that the wall
plate is level, secure it using two #14 x 2.5" wood screws (E) as shown below.
Skip to step 3.

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
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 specifi ca-
tions. 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.
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware and components.
Determine the mounting location of wall plate (B)
2
using the formula in step one. Make sure that wall
plate is level, use it as a template to mark two
mounting holes. Drill two 5/16" (8 mm) dia. holes to a
minimum depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Insert anchors (D) in
holes fl ush with wall as shown (right). Place wall plate
over anchors and secure with #14 x 2.5" screws (E).
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 anchors directly to loadbearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete anchors to concrete covered
with plaster, drywall, or other fi nishing material.
If mounting to concrete surfaces covered with a
fi nishing surface is unavoidable (not evaluated by
UL), the fi nishing 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", custom fasteners
must be supplied by installer (not evaluated by UL).
