Sanus Wall Mount

Some homeowners like to create an attractive focal point in their den or living room by mounting a flat-screen TV on a brick wall. The job requires different hardware with more specialized drill bits. But with the proper tools and planning, the results can be impressive.

Instructions

1

Place the bracket on the wall. Align at least 4 bolt holes on the brick (not the mortar) at the desired mounting height. Mark these locations with a pencil or the drill bit tip.

2

Drill the marked locations with the masonry bit. Make sure the bit penetrates at least 1/2-inch deeper than the maximum depth of the expanding anchors.

3

Insert the expanding sleeves into the drilled holes. Tap them in flush with the brick, using the hammer.

4

Place the wall bracket over the sleeves so the bolt holes are aligned with the sleeve openings. Insert the bolts and washers through the mount's holes and hand-tighten. Secure the rest of the way with the socket wrench and appropriate insert.

5

Give a quick tug on the bracket to ensure it is mounted securely.
