Do not proceed without reading this!
The concrete anchors included with this product are for direct
attachment to load bearing concrete, concrete block or brick. They
should not be used for attachment to a wall covered by plaster,
drywall, paneling or other surfacing material. Their use under such
conditions will cause an unsafe installation because the screws
provided may not be long enough to go through all materials. If your
concrete is covered by other materials, seek the assistance of a
professional installer who can recommend the appropriate
fasteners for your installation.
For Concrete Walls drill one 1/4" (6 mm) dia. hole to a
minimum depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Insert anchor (A) in hole
flush with wall as shown (right). Place wall plate over
anchor (A) and secure with one #14 x 2.5" (6 mm x 65 mm)
wood screw. Make sure wall plate is level, mark remaining
holes and repeat step one with remaining fasteners.
Tighten all fasteners.
CUTAWAY VIEW
At this point, it is essential to use a level to level your wall
bracket (G). If it is only a few degrees off level, your TV mount
will not sit straight and the arm will not stay in center position.
WARNING
• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" of actual concrete
surface 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 specifica-
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 wall will safely support four times the combined load of the equipment and all attached hard-
ware 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 studs. The use of an "edge to edge" stud
finder is highly recommended.
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.
