Tips before you mount

• Lag the mount into at least two studs, usually 16" on center, with 5/16" lag bolts; an articulating arm leverages far more weight on the wall than a fixed mount.
• Plaster and brick: pre-drill and use toggles or masonry anchors.
• Basement walls: use concrete screws and check for moisture.
• Freeze-thaw swings affect basement and exterior walls.
• Hiding wires: NEC 400.12 does not permit a standard TV power cord inside a wall cavity, so in-wall power needs a code-rated recessed outlet kit, while HDMI and speaker runs use CL2 or CL3 rated cable.
• Apartments and condos: ask about drilling rules.
