Installation to Double 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 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. 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. Installers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations.

Wall plate (F) can be mounted to two studs that are 16" apart. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs.

Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down each stud’s center . Place wall plate on wall as a template. Level plate, and mark the center of the four mounting holes. Make sure that the top two mounting holes are on the stud centerlines. Drill the top two mounting holes 5/32" (4 mm) dia. by 2-1/2" (65 mm) deep.

Drill the bottom two holes 1 1/16" (17.5 mm) dia. as shown.

NOTE: Wall plate may be mounted up to 4" (102 mm) off center as shown.

fig. 2.1

2-2

Place wall plate (F) against wall while pushing toggler wings (M) through pre-drilled holes in wall as shown in figure 2.2. Level wall plate (F) and secure using two #14 x 2.5 wood screws (J). Pull forward on 1/4-20 x 3" screws (L) until toggler wings (M) are flush against inside of drywall as shown in figure 2.4. While pulling backward on 1/4-20 x 3" screws, tighten toggler wings by turning clockwise until toggler wings are fully secured as shown in figure 2.2.1.

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 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.

Make sure that wall plate (F) is level, use it as a

template to mark the two center mounting holes. Drill two 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Insert anchors (K) in holes flush with wall as shown. Place wall plate over anchors and secure with #14 x 2.5" screws (J). Level, then tighten all fasteners.

WARNING

• Tighten screws so that wall plate is firmly 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.).

WARNING

• Always attach concrete anchors directly to loadbearing concrete.

• Never attach concrete 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", custom fasteners must be supplied by installer .
