Installation to Solid Concrete,
Cinder Block, and Brick Walls
Two sets of Alligator
®
concrete anchors (ACC 203) are required.
Use wall bracket (A), making sure that it is level, as a tem-
plate to mark holes. Drill 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum
depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Insert anchors in holes flush with wall
as shown (right). Place wall bracket (A) over anchors and
secure with #14 x 2.5" (6 mm x 65 mm) wood screws. Tighten
all fasteners.

WARNING
• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" of actual concrete
surface 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.
• Make sure that the wall will safely support four times the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware
and components.

• 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.).
WARNING
• Concrete anchors are not intended for attachment to
concrete wall covered with a layer of plaster, drywall,
or other finishing material. If mounting to concrete wall
covered with plaster/drywall is unavoidable, plaster/
drywall (up to 5/8" thick) must be counterbored as
shown below. If plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8",
custom fasteners must be supplied by installer.
