Step-by-Step Installation Guide
1. Gather Your Tools
You’ll need:
- Condomounts Metal Stud TV Mount – Advance Tilt
- Elephant Anchors (included)
- Razor Sharp Titanium Drill bit (included)
- Drill
- Level
- Measuring tape
- Stud finder
- Phillips-head screwdriver
2. Find the Metal Studs
First, use a stud finder to locate the metal studs in your wall. Mark the position of each stud. Metal studs are typically spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, and securing the mount directly into them is crucial for stability.
3. Measure and Mark
Use your measuring tape to mark the height at which you want to mount the TV. It’s recommended to place the center of your screen at eye level, which is generally around 42-48 inches from the floor. With your level, draw a straight horizontal line where the top and bottom of the TV mount will be placed.
4. Drill Pilot Holes
Once you’ve measured and marked the placement, drill pilot holes into the metal studs using the Razor Sharp Titanium Drill bit. These holes will guide your screws and ensure they penetrate the studs correctly.
5. Install the Elephant Anchors
Next, insert the Elephant Anchors into the pilot holes. These anchors are designed for metal studs and drywall, giving your mount extra security and stability. Simply screw them in with your Phillips-head screwdriver.
6. Attach the TV Mount
Once the anchors are in place, align the Condomounts Metal Stud TV Mount with the anchors. Secure the mount to the wall by tightening the screws provided in the kit. Make sure it’s firmly attached before proceeding.
7. Mount the TV
With the mount secured to the wall, it’s time to attach your TV. Most TVs come with VESA mounting holes on the back. Simply align these holes with the mount’s brackets and secure the TV using the included screws. Make sure the TV is tightly fastened to avoid any wobbling.
8. Adjust and Enjoy
Finally, use the tilt feature to adjust your TV to the perfect angle. With 10 degrees of tilt, you can easily avoid glare and improve your viewing experience. Step back and admire your work – your TV is securely mounted, and your living space now has a sleek, modern look.
