Wall plate (
A
) can be mounted to two studs that are 16" apart. Use a stud fi nder to locate the edges of the studs.
Use of an edge-to-edge stud fi nder is highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down each
stud’s center. Place wall plate on wall as a template. Level plate, and mark the center of the four mounting holes.
Make sure that the mounting holes are on the stud centerlines. Drill four 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2-1/2" (65 mm)
deep. Make sure that the wall plate is level, secure it using four #14 x 2.5" wood screws (
D
) as shown in fi gure 1.2.

Installation to Double Wood Stud Wall
1
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all
attached hardware and components.
• Tighten wood screws so that wall plate is fi rmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the
screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).
• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the stud. The use of an "edge to edge" stud fi nder
is highly recommended.
• When installing Peerless wall mounts on a wood stud wall covered with gypsum board (drywall), verify that the
wood studs are a minimum of 2" x 4" nominal size. Do not install over gypsum board thicker than 5/8".
