Installation To Solid Concrete And Cinder Block - peerless-AV SP850 Instalación Y Ensamblaje

Installation to Solid Concrete and Cinder Block Wall
• 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
specifi cations. 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 supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.
Position wall mount assembly (A) at desired position

on wall. Use wall mount assembly, making sure that
it is level, as a template to mark holes. Drill four
5/16" (8mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2-1/2"
(64 mm). Concrete must be 2000 psi density
minimum. Insert anchors (E) in holes fl ush with wall
as shown in fi gure 2.4. Place wall mount assembly
over anchors and secure with #14 x 2-1/2" wood
screws (D) as shown in fi gure 2.5. Make sure wall
plate is level and tighten all fasteners.
WARNING
• Tighten wood screws so that wall plate is fi rmly at-
tached, 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 expansion anchors directly
to load-bearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete expansion anchors to con-
crete covered with plaster, drywall, or other fi nishing
material. If mounting to concrete surfaces covered
with a fi nishing surface is unavoidable, the fi nishing
surface must be counterbored as shown below. If
plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8", custom fasteners
must be supplied by installer (not UL evaluated).
