• 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, gener-
ally 1" (25 mm) 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.
• Always attach concrete anchors directly to load-bearing concrete.
