WARNING
• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-5/8" of actual concrete
surface in the 1/4" diameter hole to be used for the concrete anchors. 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 . Do not drill into mortar joints!
• 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.
• Tighten concrete anchor bolt firmly , but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the screw , greatly reducing its
holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in • lb (9 N.M.).
