Frequently Asked Questions - VSF716-B2 SANUS

What is the maximum weight the Sanus VSF716-B2 wall mount can support?

The mount can support a TV weighing up to 15.8 kg (35 lb), including accessories.

On what types of walls can I install the VSF716-B2 mount?

The mount is designed for installation on wood studs, solid concrete, and concrete blocks. It is not compatible with standalone installation on drywall.

What tools are needed to install the mount?

You will need a tape measure, a pencil, a level, a screwdriver. For wood studs: a stud finder, an awl and a wood drill bit. For concrete: a 10 mm concrete drill bit and a hammer.

How to attach the mounting bracket to the TV?

First select the diameter and length of screws suitable for your TV. Use short screws for a flat back without spacers, or long screws with spacers for an irregular back. Center the TV bracket on the holes and tighten properly.

How to install the wall plate on wood studs?

Locate the studs, check the drywall thickness, mark drilling points, position the template, drill, remove covers, tighten the four lag bolts firmly and insert covers.

How to install the wall plate on concrete or concrete blocks?

Position the template, drill into concrete (never into mortar), insert the anchors ensuring they do not protrude, remove covers, tighten the lag bolts and insert covers.

How to hang the TV on the wall plate?

Hang the TV arm on the wall plate with the help of another person (as the assembly is heavy). Tighten the locking screw to securely fix the TV.

How to manage cables with this mount?

Extend the arm fully to have slack, remove the cable cover, route the cables along the arm, then replace the cable cover.

How to adjust the TV tilt?

Loosen the locking screw, adjust the tilt tension knobs so the TV stays in position. If you do not wish to adjust tilt regularly, tighten the knobs manually to prevent any movement.

What to do in case of missing or damaged parts?

Contact Sanus customer service (not the retailer) to obtain a replacement part. Never use damaged parts.
