Installing Mounting Plate to Wall or Ceiling

For Attachment to Wood Studs or Wood Beams

Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the stud. Use of an

edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended. Based on

their edges, draw a vertical line down the stud’s center. Place

mounting plate (A) on wall as a template. Mark the center of

the two mounting holes. Make sure the mounting holes are on

the stud centerline. Drill four 1/8" (3 mm) dia. holes1-7/8" (48

mm) deep. Secure mounting plate using two #12 x 1-3/4" self

tapping screws (N).

For Attachment to Concrete or Cinder Block

Use mounting plate as a template to mark the two

mounting holes. NOTE: For wall mounting applications,

position mounting holes in a vertical pattern. Drill two

5/16" (8 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 1-7/8"

(48 mm). Insert anchors (O) in holes flush with surface

as shown in figure 3.2. Place mounting plate over

anchors and secure with two #12 x 1-3/4" self tapping

screws (N) as shown in figure 3.3.

• 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.).
