SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES
• The maximum temperature at the front of the fireplace mantle should never be
more than 110°F (43°C).
• The fireplace mantle should not extend more than 16" (406mm) from the mounting
surface.
• This mount can support displays weighing between 44 ~ 143 lbs. (20 ~ 65 kg).
• The mounting surface should be a wood stud frame wall with studs spaced no more
than 24" (609mm) apart. The wall must not exceed 5/8" (16mm) thick.
• Ensure that the mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight of
the mount and any mounted display.
• This mount should only be installed by persons with a basic knowledge of building
construction and installations.
• This bracket should only be installed by two people. Do not attempt to install it by
yourself.
• If mounting to a wall of wood stud construction, ensure that mounting bolts are
anchored in the center of the studs. When installing the TV mount on a concrete
wall, the wall must be at least 8.0" (203mm) thick with a minimum compressive
strength from 2500 to 3000 psi (17.2 to 20.7 Mpa) and must meet the ASTM C39
specification. When installing the TV mount on a cinder block wall, the cinder blocks
must meet the ASTM C216 specifications and have a minimum nominal width of 8.0"
(203mm). Be sure to mount it in a solid part of the block, generally 1" (25mm)
minimum from the side of the block. Do not drill into mortar joints! If plaster/dry
wall is thicker than 5/8" (16mm), custom fasteners must be supplied by the installer.
Note that hardware and instructions are provided for installation to wood stud
walls only.
