Features

Compatibility: This universal wall-mount bracket is designed to fit most flat-panel plasma and LCD screens from 30" to 56". The bracket can be used with TVs that weigh up to 130 pounds.

Construction: The bracket is constructed of heavy-gauge steel with a black powder-coated finish.

Mounting: The wall plate must be anchored directly to wall studs using the supplied lag bolts. The slots in the wall plate can accommodate a variety of stud spacing, allowing you to easily mount the TV to wall studs that are 16" or 24" on center. Once the wall plate is anchored to the wall studs and the TV brackets (with the TV attached) are hooked to the wall plate, the TV can slide left to right, allowing you to center the TV on the wall. After the TV is secured, it will be held approximately 1-1/4" from the wall.

Note: Each monitor bracket has multiple bolt openings and can accommodate vertical hole spacing (on the back of the TV) up to 17.37" (441mm). Since the TV rails can slide on the wall plate, the horizontal hole spacing on the back of the TV can be between 2" and 26.5" (50.8 to 660.4mm).

Steel Stud Mounting: If you wish to mount this Sanus wall mount in a building with steel stud walls, you will need the Sanus SSMK1 Steel Stud Mounting Kit (051SSMK1). Steel stud walls are typically found in commercial applications, such as office buildings, warehouses, and condominiums.

Safety Bar: Once the TV is mounted on the wall, the safety bar slides between the monitor brackets and the bottom edge of the wall plate to ensure the set isn't accidentally lifted from the wall. There is also an opening in one end of the safety bar for a padlock, for added security.

Dimensions

Dimensions:

  • Wall Plate: W=29.021", H=7.001", D=0.774"
  • TV Brackets: W=1.468", H=18.375", D=1.218"

Easy to mount and sturdy!

Written By Cris, Lake Worth, FL on Thursday, September 30, 2010
 
I bought this product for a 42" Panasonic TV and I was warned that I shoudn't attempt to
install it on a metal-studded wall. I took the risk and I bought 1/4" togglers and the whole
installation process was a breeze. I didn't even use the studs, the whole thing is supported
by the drywall! I like the fact that the mount is really slim and saves a lot of space, looks good
and is very sturdy.

Sanus wall mount

Written By CraigB1, Chicago suburb on Friday, November 20, 2009
 
Thanks for very fast delivery. This is a high quality, very solid product. Comes with all sizes of screws, nicely sorted, for all tv's. I used it for a 37" LCD, and it fit great. I really like the fact that once tv is mounted, you can slide it left or right to center it better on the wall. Just make sure you drill into the wall studs. I used a Zircon Stud sensor Pro SL-AC, which is very good. A rachet wrench also works best to drive in the lag bolts. No need to pay more, for a great low profile mount, unless you need one that tilts.

Sanus VMPL250

Written By Ray, Montgomery, AL on Tuesday, September 01, 2009
 
As always, great service and delivery and although this was my first wall mount, I found it extremely easy to assemble and very well designed. It's nice to gain back the table space by not having to use the base mount. Considering I was able to purchase at the outlet it was really a bargain too!

Great Mount for the price!

Written By Terry, SC on Saturday, October 18, 2008
 
Service/Delivery was great as usual from Crutchfield;
nothing to it, mounted 4 bolts with spacers because I knew there wasn't much room on the back once it was mounted, be sure to attach your HDMI cables before you mount it. The mount is handling a Samsung LN52A750 LCD TV. Main reason I got this mount was the price, couldn't see paying a lot of money when this one works just as well.

Solid mount

Written By Rick, So. GA, USA on Thursday, October 16, 2008
 
Very pleased with this mount. The parts provided with the Sanus seemed to be of better quality than some I've seen costing much more. The instructions were clear, and all needed parts are included. Crutchfield delivered the mount and a new television I ordered in 2 business days and as usual, I'm very pleased.

Fine design

Written By Matthew, Lincoln, NE on Saturday, September 27, 2008
 
This wall mount is a snap to install and makes wall mounting the TV easy. The only problem I encountered was that the various screws provided were either too short or too long for my flat-backed Sony LCD. I used the spacers (intended for a flat screen with a curved back) on top of the bracket. Not the most elegant solution, but who wants to go to the hardware store late at night?

Excellent Product

Written By Steve, Montana on Thursday, September 25, 2008
 
I purchased this wall mount to use with my new Panasonic Plasma.

It bolted up too it just fine and the brackets didn't cover up any of the inputs on the TV. I have an access room in back of the wall where I mounted it and I cut out a section to get at all the inputs, worked great!! I highly recommend making a small room in back of your entertaiment center and TV if you are making a Theater area from scratch, it makes things so much easier to get at.

I was also able to lift the tv up on too the bracket by myself but I highly recommend you have a lift buddy to help.....

One other thing, having that access room enabled me to put in studding and blocking exactly where I needed it at to be able to put in all six lags.

Great Product

Written By David, Wilmington, NC on Tuesday, August 26, 2008
 
I purchased wall mount for a friend who wanted to mount her new 42" flat-screen on wall vs. setting on a table. Price was great; delivery was excellent. Mount is built like a tank, but very simple design... and will easily support the 42" Panasonic Plasma screen she wanted to wall mount. After reading the instructions, and having the required tools assembled, installation was completed in less than 90 minutes. Greatest amount of time was required to measure and calculate where to locate single wall plate bracket, in order to have screen height arrive at a desired location on wall.

Once you have wall studs located and know where to drill holes... it's just:
1) four holes to drill in wall at studs and install lag screws w/washers;
2) two brackets w/four bolt/washer combinations to screw into back of flat screen case;
3) lift TV w/mount assembly and hang onto wall bracket;
4) insert safety/security bar and you are done.

Could not have been easier. All needed parts (bolts, washers, spacers, etc.) for Panasonic brand were "in the box". Plan to "do it again" for my own 42"... for a bedroom install in an area on top of wall units. A great experience! When needed, installed TV can easily be unfastened at bottom of wall bracket and swung away from wall to access any rear mounted TV input connections. Sanus builds a great product and I would recommend this model to anyone looking for a simple, clean, easy to install flat-screen wall mount.

Sanus VMPL250

Written By Kyle, Elko, Nevada on Monday, August 04, 2008
 
Mounted to a drywall, wood stud wall. Good thing I was going to run all the cables inside the wall because the high quality cables will not bend tight enough to to clear the wall as this is a LOW profile mount. Worked perfect for the 46 inch sony. Mounting hardware 8MM screws were a bit short, nothing a trip to the hardware store did not cure easily. Looks great tucked tight against the wall. Thanks Crutchfield
