PEERLESS Paramount PCC Installation Et Montage page 6

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
• When installing Peerless mounting bases on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" of actual con-
crete 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 specifi-
cations. 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.
Make sure that mounting base (C) pilot holes are
3
level. Drill 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth
of 1.5" (64 mm) for each mounting base. Insert
anchors (F) in holes flush with mounting surface as
shown (right). Place mounting base over anchor and
secure with #8 x 1" phillips screws (G). Level, then
tighten all fasteners.
NOTE: head of anchor must touch mounting
surface.
NOTE: Be certain channel flanges on mounting
bases are in the orientation as in fig. 3.1 and 3.2 of
page 5 for left or right configuration.
WARNING
• Tighten screws so that mounting bases are firmly
attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can
damage screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 25 in. • lb (2.5 N.M.).
