Frequently Asked Questions - VMF720-B2 SANUS

What is the maximum weight supported by the Sanus VMF720-B2?

The maximum TV weight (including accessories) is 24.9 kg (55 lb). Do not exceed this limit.

Can I install this mount on drywall?

No, this mount is designed for installation on wood studs, solid concrete, or concrete block. Do not install it alone on drywall.

What tools are needed for installation?

The required tools include: a screwdriver, a level, a tape measure, a pencil, a drill, and depending on the wall: a stud finder (for wood) or a masonry bit and a hammer (for concrete).

How do I adjust the TV tilt?

Loosen the locking screw (12), then adjust the tilt using the tension buttons (T). Tighten the locking screw once the desired angle is reached. For precise adjustment, use a hex key if necessary.

How do I remove the TV from the mount?

Disconnect all cables. Remove the locking screw (12). Pull the release ring (R) downward to release the TV, then gently lift it off the arm. This operation requires two people.

Is this mount compatible with a 55-inch TV?

Compatibility depends on weight and VESA hole pattern. The weight must not exceed 24.9 kg. Check your TV's VESA dimensions (typically 200x200 to 600x400 mm). Refer to the manual or MountFinder.Sanus.com.

How do I manage cables with this mount?

Fully extend the arm to create slack. Remove the cable cover (C) from the arm, route the cables along the arm, then replace the cable cover. This prevents cables from stretching during movement.

Where can I find the exact dimensions of the mount?

Dimensions are not specified in the manual. For precise information, refer to the product sheet on the Sanus website or contact customer service. The typical wall plate dimensions are approximately 50 x 30 cm.
