Installation To Solid Concrete And Cinder Block - PEERLESS Paramount PA730 Instalación Y Montaje

Installation to Solid Concrete and Cinder Block

• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" (35mm) 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" (25mm) 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 wall will safely support four times the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware
and components.
Level and use wall plate as template to mark

to a minimum depth of 2-1/2" (64mm). Insert
anchors (F) in holes fl ush with wall. Place wall
arm assembly (AA) over anchor and secure with
wood screws (D). Make sure wall arm is level, and
tighten all fasteners.
WARNING
• Tighten screws so that wall plate is fi rmly 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.).
• Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly to
load-be aring concrete.
• Never attach concrete expansion anchors to concrete
covered with plaster, drywall, or other fi nishing
material. If mounting to concrete surfaces covered
with a fi nishing surface is unavoidable (not evaluated
by UL), the fi nishing surface must be counterbored
as shown below. Be sure concrete anchors do not
pull away from concrete when tightening screws. If
plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8" (16mm), custom
fasteners must be supplied by installer (not evaluated
by UL).
