locknuts so that the TV does not

swivel into the mantel.

Tilt is removed with one screw

inside the swivel mechanism. The

TV should always be vertically

parallel to the wall

The bottom travel stop is adjusted

with two screws and locknuts so

the TV and mount do not lower all

the way into the mantel.

Please verify that your installation meets all of these CRITICAL requirements:

MantelMount is designed for use only with decorative
fireplaces that are not the primary heat source for a

A B

house. Temperature at the front edge of mantle should
never exceed 110° F.

110°F

MAX.

Mantle must not extend from mounting surface
more than 19 inches (22 inches for non-recessed

C

installations). MantelMount can not extend past a mantel
larger than 19 inches. Larger mantels will also reduce the
amount of side-to-side swivel.

D

Wall must be WOOD STUD FRAME only. There must be at
least 2 studs available for mounting. Wall covering must
not exceed 5/8 inch thick.

For other types of walls or other types of installations
please visit the FAQ section at www.MantelMount.com.

2 STUDS

TELEVISION REQUIREMENTS:

1. Weight must be below 110 pounds (56 Kg).

2. Screen size larger than 50 diagonal inches.

3. Mounting screw holes are VESA compliant.
For non-VESA hole patterns, please visit the
FAQ section at www.MantelMount.com.

Note: This is not an installation step, only a verification.

Do not use these dimensions during installation.

The space above the mantle must be taller than the TV. The required space
depends on how far out the mantle extends. Refer to chart below and add this
additional height to the TV height to determine if space is tall enough.

If mantle extends:

Less than 10 inches

Use a Vertical Brace {27} to determine if your television

is a flat back or an irregular back. An irregular back will
require spacers and longer screws to fill any spaces
between the Vertical Brace and the TV.
The Braces must be parallel to your television screen.

Choose the correct screw diameter and length for the TV.
Hand-thread screw combination into the TV to ensure
there is adequate thread engagement without hitting the
bottom of threaded insert. Use only minimum amount of
spacers (if required).

CAUTION:

Do Not use screws that are too long for the threaded

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The Vertical Braces {27} are
a fixed distance higher than the bottom of the Lift Housing
Frame {30}. This relationship can be used to calculate
most mounting situations such as centering the TV in an
alcove or mounting the TV at a specific height on the wall.

If you measure the distance from the
bottom of your TV (or Sound Bar) to the
bottom of the Vertical Braces {27} (see:
page 5) you will automatically know the
distance from the bottom of your TV to the
bottom of the Lift Housing {30}.

You can use this information to install the
Lift Housing on the wall in order to locate
your TV to any specific height you desire.

Example: If the Vertical Braces are
attached 10 inches from the bottom of the
TV, then the bottom of the cutout opening
should be 4 inches higher than where you
want the bottom edge of the TV on the
wall (10” - 6” = 4”).

If you are installing above a mantel, then
your installation must still have the
additional clearance for downward motion
stated in the chart in Step 9.

The Vertical Braces {27} are always mounted higher than

5 6

the bottom of the TV. However, the Brace Extenders {28}
will be mounted one of two ways:

Without a Sound Bar - The Brace Extenders are
installed within a few inches above the bottom of the TV.

With a Sound Bar - The Brace Extenders are installed
below the TV with enough room to install the Sound Bar

onto the Horizontal Brace {29}.

{27}

Vertical Braces:

Always higher

than the bottom

of the TV

Attach the Vertical Braces {27} to the TV so the bottoms of
the Vertical Braces are at least seven inches higher than the
bottom of the TV.
If the holes on the TV are lower than the braces, install the
lower screws through the Brace Extenders {28} using the
included Spacers {12}.

Without

Sound Bar:

Extenders are

1 or 2 inches
above the TV

With

Sound Bar:

Extenders are

a few inches

below the TV

Attach the TV Horizontal Brace {29} to the Extenders {28}.

within one inch from the bottom of the TV.
