Sanus Wall Mount

The only thing cooler than a wall-mounted TV is TV that is mounted on a brick wall. People may think that mounting a TV on brick could never be done, but they will surely be impressed when they enter your home and see your TV mounted on your brick wall. Impress your friends and family even more by skipping the professional and doing this project yourself.

Instructions

1

Check the temperature of your fireplace. If you are mounting your TV to a brick wall above the fireplace, start a fire in the fireplace and get the fire as hot as you safely can. Give the fireplace and hour to heat up and place a thermometer against the brick where you want to mount the TV. If the temperature is higher than 90 degrees, do not mount your TV to that fireplace.

2

Hold the wall plate against the brick wall and mark out the mounting holes with a pencil. Remove the wall plate from the wall and drill the holes out using a masonry drill bit. Insert wall anchors in the holes.

3

Hold the wall plate to the wall so that the mounting holes match up with the wall anchors. Insert the lug bolts that come with the mounting kit and tighten them inside the wall anchors with a wrench.

4

Place the mounting bracket up against the back of the TV. The mounting brackets and the back of the TV have VESA holes. Line the VESA holes up and insert the VESA screws through the brackets into the TV. Take the TV over to the wall plate and unite the brackets with the connections on the wall plate. Insert the necessary security screws and tighten them with a Phillips screwdriver.
