6. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for a secure installation. It is recommended to have two people for TV mounting.
Step 1: Prepare the Wall
- Locate Mounting Position: Determine the desired height and center of your TV. Use a stud finder to locate the center of a wood stud for wood stud installation. For concrete or brick walls, ensure the chosen location is solid.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the wall plate assembly against the wall at the desired height and use a pencil to mark the drilling points. Use a bubble level to ensure the marks are perfectly horizontal.
- Drill Pilot Holes:
- For Wood Studs: Drill pilot holes using a 3/16" (4.5mm) drill bit to a depth of 2.2" (55mm).
- For Concrete/Brick Walls: Drill pilot holes using a 3/8" (10mm) drill bit to a depth of 2.4" (60mm). Insert concrete anchors into the drilled holes.
