Make sure that wall plate (A) is level, use it as a
template to mark two mounting holes. The top
mounting hole should be above the desired screen
center as shown in figure 1.1 on page 4 or figure 1.3 on
page 5. NOTE: Screen tilt will determine wall plate
location. Drill two 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum
depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Insert anchors (D) in holes flush
with wall as shown (right). Place wall plate over
anchors and secure with #14 x 2.5" screws (C). Level,
then tighten all fasteners.
NOTE: Six holes and six sets of fasteners are required
when mounting the PFT660 wall plate.
Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
1
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 specifica-
tions. 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 supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hard-
ware and components.
WARNING
Always attach concrete anchors directly to load-
bearing concrete.
Never attach concrete anchors to concrete covered
with plaster, drywall, or other finishing material. 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 tighten-
ing screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8",
custom fasteners must be supplied by installer (not
UL approved).
WARNING
Tighten screws so that wall plate is firmly attached,
but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage
screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).
