Installation To Solid Concrete Or Cinder Block - PEERLESS ACCSH300 Instrucciones Para La Instalación Y El 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"
(35 mm) 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" (25 mm) 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.
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the
equipment and all attached hardware and components.
1 Remove end cap with bubble level from
column (A). Assemble columns (A) and clip
(O) as shown in fi gure 1.1. Make sure that
columns (A) are level, use them as a template
to mark four mounting holes. Drill four 5/16" (8
mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2"
(51 mm). Insert anchors (C) in holes fl ush with
wall. Place columns (A) over anchors and
secure with four M5 X 44mm wood screws (B).
Tighten fasteners then cover M5 X 44mm
wood screws (B) with screw covers (H) as
shown in fi gure 1.2.
WARNING
• Tighten screws so that column 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-bearing 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, the fi nishing surface
must be counter bored as shown below. Be
sure concrete anchors do not pull away from
concrete when tightening screws. If plaster/
drywall is thicker than 5/8" (16 mm), custom
fasteners must be supplied by installer.
