| 254 – 305mm | TV wallboard height plus 178mm |
| 305 – 356mm | TV wallboard height plus 203mm |
Installation procedure
Installing the TV wall mount bracket
Step 1
Measure the centerline of the mantle and the area found and mark with a tape. It should be 600m above the fireplace.
Step 2
Plasterboard walls ONLY – Using the stud finder, locate at least two studs and finding their center using a sharp awl to locate each edge lag bolt should be installed in the center of the studs
Step 3
One should ensure there are no big deviations between the holes which need to be 10mm
Step 4
In case the wall is concrete, use an expansion pipe. (In order to have a better installation, it is necessary to have in-wall wiring or wall AV and power plates installed to hide the cords behind the wall. We advise you get a professional installer to do this)
