Installation/Mounting the Dish 57
Cinder blocks can come in a variety of sizes. These sizes vary in length and in the
number of cores, or cavities, in the block. The block sizes are three core (8" x 8" x 16"),
two core (8" x 8" x 16"), and a smaller two core (8" x 8" x 12"). In many areas, the
two core 16" block is the most common.

Figure 39, Types of Cinder Block
To install the DSS foot on a cinder block wall, you want to use some type of hollow
wall anchor (we recommend the use of togglers) that will mount in the core of the
cinder block. It is recommended that you use four anchors in the outside holes of the
mounting foot.
Figure 40, Toggler Type of Wall Anchor
When installing wall anchors in a cinder block wall, it is important to position them
in thecores oftheblock. Figure41 showsthe optimumlocation for the mounting foot
on a 16" two core block. In this position, the center of the foot aligns with center wall
of the cinder block and the four outside holes of the foot land in the cores of the block.
To position the foot on the wall, measure 7-1/2" from the edge to the center of a block.
Center the foot at that location.
