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.

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.

•
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.
