• When installing Peerless wall mounts on a concrete wall, the wall must be at least 8” thick with a minimum compres-

sive strength of 2000 psi.

and have a minimum nominal width of 8”. Do not drill into mortar joints! Be sure to mount in a solid part of the block,

generally 1” (25 mm) minimum from the side of the block. 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 the wall will safely support four times the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware

and components.

WARNING

Place plate (A) over anchors (E) and secure with screws (F).
