In this video, I will show you how to install this TV wall bracket.
This is a plasterboard wall with timber studs at about 450 millimetres separation - center to center.
I'm going to use the BOSCH d-tect 120 radar scanner to find the timber studs, mark them
out, & then install the bracket. And the bracket will carry a 46 inch TV that it's pretty heavy -
weighs 31 kilograms. Because the TV is so heavy, it is safest to mount the TV bracket to
timber studs rather than plasterboard. So join me in this video, & see how I do it. Let me start. The
TV bracket is 76 centimetres long - left to right. I want to find 2 timber studs between the ends
of the TV bracket. These are 4 holes previously drilled to locate the timber studs. I'll
show you the process of finding the timber studs on this side, & it'll be the same for that side.
This is the BOSCH d-tect 120. It's a radar scanner. Can be used for plasterboards, drywall, masonry,
concrete. I've set the BOSCH d-tect 120 radar scanner to drywall. I'm gonna move left.
You see the circles with the cross, & the square. When you get the square, that means
where that square is, here & there, that's where the center of the timber is.
So if I mark on the right & left & vertical.
There, & there you see that the hole is about there.
Horizontal, vertical cross, they'll intersect about here. And you see that's where the
center of the timber stud is. So that's where I have the hole. We'll do that same for this one.
There you go. Circles, cross & the square means that it detected the center of the timber stud.
So if I mark across there, there, there.
You'll see if I join the intersection, it's about there.
And that's where the hole is. So this is a pretty decent radar scanner. I've done a separate review
for this - it's in the description. Have a look at it. Using the BOSCH d-tect 120, I've
also detected another timber stud here & have drilled the holes there & there.
So you have to use a level to determine that this is level. Same here. To secure the TV bracket to the
timber studs, I'll be using this Hex-head timber screws. It has external diameter 6 millimetre &
length 50 millimetres. Because it's in the house, it doesn't have to be galvanized. This is just zinc
plated. Once you've decided where the center the tv bracket should be, you can start screwing it in.
One is good enough for here - just to hold the position.
Next one in at the top.
Just to hold position.
Just be careful not to over tighten.
See the bubble's in the center - so that's good. So the brackets are fixed secure.
Not going anywhere. Next job is to install the 2 vertical arms to the back of theTV.
This is one of the wall installation holes on the back of the TV.
Because it's recessed inside, I must not just put the arm of the bracket onto the plastic
Because when I tighten, it's going to crack the plastic. So I've got some steel bushes.
And that will go in there. And then the arm can sit into that. So the bolt will be a M8 screw.
I'm putting a spring washer, & a normal washer because there'll be vibration. So
this will stop the screw working itself loose. So let me install the first arm on the right.
Make sure don't tighten anything yet because you need to allow the arm to fit into the optimum
position. Just hand tighten it - that's all. That's good. Now to install the second arm.
Put the steel bushes.
Bolt, spring washer, normal washer.
Hand tighten.
Second bolt.
Get Allen key out & start tightening. Again,
be careful not to over tighten. Don't want to break anything.
It's got a spring washer, so it should stay tight. No need to over tighten. Done! So to mount the arms
onto the wall brackets. Very simple. You have these hooks here. So all you do is lift the arms, & fit this
top hook to the top of the TV bracket. So once the top of the arms is mounted to the top of the
wall brackets, you then pull this cord which lowers the bottom hook - allowing the bottom
of the arm to catch on the bottom of the wall bracket. Then release it. Simple as that. That's it.
Right! the TV is mounted. It's a heavy TV 31 kilogram.
Here's a side view of the television with the wall bracket mounting.
