First, you want to make sure you have everything you’ll need.
To install your SANUS mount, you’ll need the following tools:
- Electric drill
- Phillip’s head screwdriver
- Tape measure
- Level
- Pencil
- Drill bit
- Stud finder
- Hammer (concrete installations only)
And here’s everything that will come in your SANUS box:
- Installation manual
- Wall plate template
- Hardware packs
- TV bracket
- Wall plate
- Mount arm
The steps in mounting your full-motion mount will vary slightly based on whether you have a single stud or dual stud mount. In the video, we show how to install a dual stud full-motion mount.
Now that we know everything that we’ll need, let’s get to mounting the TV.
Step 1: Attach TV Bracket to Your TV
To get started with the first step, chose bolts that fit your TV. And don’t be overwhelmed, you won’t use all of the hardware that’s included. We just want to be sure you have the hardware that you need.
Now, there are a few different types of TV brackets, TV brackets that come as one piece, and TV brackets that use extenders.
If your mount includes a TV bracket with extenders, you’ll attach the extenders to the bracket based on your TV’s hole pattern. Refer to the install manual to find the correct TV bracket configuration for your TV.
If your TV doesn’t have a flat back or you need extra space to accommodate cables, you’ll want to use the included spacers. Put the spacers between your TV and the TV bracket and insert screws using a screw driver.
If your TV has a flat back, you won’t need the spacers. You can attach the TV bracket directly to the back of your TV. Just thread the appropriate length screw through the TV bracket and into your TV. Be sure not to overtighten as this can damage your TV.
Step 2: Attach Wall Plate to the Wall:
For optimal viewing from a seated position, you’ll want the center of your TV to be approximately 42 inches from the floor. For help finding the right height for your TV, visit the SANUS HeightFinder tool: [ Ссылка ].
Simply enter the height of where you want your TV on the wall, and HeightFinder will tell you exactly where to drill your holes.
Now that you know how high you want your TV, let’s find your wall studs. Use a stud finder – generally most wall studs are either 16 or 24 inches apart.
Next grab the SANUS wall plate template and make sure the opening on the template overlap with your stud markings.
Now it’s time to drill. Grab your drill and drill four pilot holes through the wall plate template openings into your studs.
Next, grab your wall plate and align openings with where you drilled your pilot holes. Use your lag bolts to attach your wall plate to the wall using a socket wrench or a drill.
Step 3: Attach the TV
We’ll start by attaching the mount arm to the wall plate. Each SANUS full-motion mount has a locking mechanism to ensure the mount arm is securely in place. Consult your mount’s installation manual for the specifics on your mount.
Now it’s the moment you’ve been waiting for, it’s time to put the TV on the wall. Depending on the size and weight of your TV, you may need a friend to help.
Lift the TV onto the arm by attaching it to the hang tab and then resting the TV into place. Once your TV is hanging on the mount, lock the mount arm.
And that’s it, with a SANUS TV mount you can extend, tilt and swivel your TV for the best view from any seat in the room.
All SANUS mounts are safety-tested, UL-certified and come with a warranty.
