Important: The TV needs to be centered on the mount to avoid leaning
Conditions for Mounting to Wall
1. Figure 7 and Figure 8 show how the mount gets laid out in the wall.
2. The television should be centered on the mount, if not the television will sag to one side. The heavier the TV and the more off
center, the more unlevel the TV will be through its range of motion. If your stud placement doesn’t allow for the TV to be
centered, you will need to change the stud configuration.
3. The mount is designed to attach to standard 2 x 4 or larger wall studs spaced 16in apart. If the wall isn’t sturdy enough then more
support will need to be added, consult an expert.
4. The Center of the TV should be centered between the 2 16” studs as shown in Figure 7.
5. Between the 2 16” studs, there needs to be space for a 26.25” Tall x 13” Wide x 3.7” Deep box to fit.
6. The mount must be securely fastened to a structure that can support 4 times the total weight of the television and mount. Nexus
21 assumes no responsibility for damage from an improperly installed mount.
7. The mounting holes need to be in the center of the studs, use a stud finder as needed.
8. 4 lag screws, 1 in each slot, are needed to secure the mount.

Determining Where to Put Mount
1. Figure 7 shows the important things to look for and measure.
2. Extra thought and planning is needed when mounting over a shelf; see the Above Shelf Mounting section on page 10 for more
details and relevant dimensions. Find the needed distances [H] and [C] for your shelf depth [D].
3. To find out how the Recess Box relates to the television you should do a test fitting on the ground.
4. Figure 7 shows how the Vertical Mounting Bars relate to the Recess Box.
5. Figure 9 shows hot to attach the Vertical Mounting Bars to the TV.
6. We suggest putting the Vertical Mounting Bars on the back of the TV, then make sure the TV is going to cover the recess box like
expected and you can find [C]
7. If attaching a speaker, lay that out also with the speaker bracket.
