Installation to Concrete Ceilings or Concrete/Cinder Block Walls
Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly to
load-bearing concrete.
Never attach concrete expansion anchors to concrete
covered with plaster, drywall, or other finishing mate-
rial. If mounting to concrete surfaces covered with a
finishing surface is unavoidable, the finishing 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" (16 mm), custom fasteners must be sup-
plied by installer (not UL approved).
WARNING
NOTE: Wall installation with models EXC, EXC-S
and EXC-W is not available.
Place ceiling/wall plate (A) on ceiling or wall as a
template. Note: Place ceiling/wall plate according
to position of opening in outer channel (B) as shown
in figure 2.4. or figure 2.5. Drill two 1/4" (6 mm) dia.
holes to a minimum depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Attach
ceiling/wall plate (A) using two concrete anchors (J),
two #14 x 2.5" wood screws (H) and two washers (O)
as shown in figure 2.6. Tighten wood screws (H) until
ceiling/wall plate (A) is firmly attached.

Tighten wood screws firmly, 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.).

When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" 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" minimum from the side of the block. Cinder block must meet ASTM C-90 specifications.
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.
