Installation To Solid Concrete And Cinder Block - PEERLESS SmartMount RTFPA50U Serie Instalación Y Ensamblaje

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
• 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.
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hard-
ware and components.
Determine and mark with a pencil, the desired center
2
of screen on wall. Measure 7" (177 mm) above desired
center of screen and draw a horizontal line to locate
placement of wall plate template. Align top of template
(top of wall plate) with horizontal line. Level template
(wallplate) on wall and mark center of six mounting
holes. Drill six 5/16" (8 mm) dia. holes 3" (76.2 mm)
deep. Insert anchors (F) in holes flush with wall as
shown (right). Place wall plate (D) over anchors and
secure with six 5/16" x 3" screws (E) as shown in fig.
2.3. Level wall plate, 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 load-
bearing 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 tighten-
ing screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8",
custom fasteners must be supplied by installer.
