Installation To Solid Concrete/Cinder Block Walls - PEERLESS SUT645P Installation And Assembly Manual

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" (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.
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all at-
tached hardware and components.
Use wall plate as a template to mark four mounting
1
holes. The top mounting slots should be located 1.88"
(48mm) above the desired display center as shown in
fi gure 1.1 on page 4. Drill four 5/16" (8mm) dia. holes
to a minimum depth of 2.5" (64mm). Insert anchors
(D) into holes. Place wall plate over anchors and
secure with wood screws (C). Level wall plate, then
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 anchors directly to load-
bearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete 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).
