Bell'O 8335 manual Mounting the Wall Plate, Extending the Wall Plate

Step 2: Mounting the Wall Plate

Extending the Wall Plate

You need to determine the correct width of the expandable Wall Plate (WP) to fit the mounting configuration of your TV. To do this, measure the distance from the outside edges of the Monitor Arms (MA) on the back of your TV using a tape measure. The wall plate must extend past this measurement and into the “grey zone” (see Figure 5), but should not extend past the sides of the TV cabinet.

Figure 5

Minimum Wall Plate Width

Maximum Wall Plate Width

Pay attention to how far you extend the wall plate here—the amount of extension determines whether you use four or six Lag Bolts (T) in the next step of the installation process! If you extend the Left and Right Extension Plates into, or wider than, the third expansion slot (see Figure 6), you must use six lag bolts (three studs for wood stud installations). If you expand the Left and Right Extension Plates into the first or second expansion slot, you need to use only four lag bolts (two studs for wood stud installations).
