Step 2: Mounting the Wall Plate
English
Extending the Wall Plate
You need to determine the correct width of the expandable Wall Plate (WP) to fit the
mounting configuration of your TV. To do this, measure the distance from the outside
edges of the Monitor Arms (MA) on the back of your TV using a tape measure. The
wall plate must extend past this measurement and into the “grey zone” (see Figure 5),
but should not extend past the sides of the TV cabinet.

Minimum Wall Plate Width
Maximum Wall Plate Width
Pay attention to how far you extend the wall plate here—the amount of extension
determines whether you use four or six Lag Bolts (T) in the next step of the installation
process! If you extend the Left and Right Extension Plates into, or wider than, the third
expansion slot (see Figure 6), you must use six lag bolts (three studs for wood stud
installations). If you expand the Left and Right Extension Plates into the first or second
expansion slot, you need to use only four lag bolts (two studs for wood stud installations).
