Can I mount this on 24-inch on-center wood studs?

The AEON-45200 model is specifically designed for 16-inch on-center wood studs and cannot be mounted directly to 24-inch studs.

If your walls have 24-inch on-center studs, you have two main options based on the sources:

  • Purchase the AEON-45250 Model: The manufacturer offers an alternative version of this mount, the AEON-45250, which features a wider 26-inch backplate specifically designed to safely span 24-inch on-center wood studs.
  • Use a DIY Wood Backing: If you already have the 16-inch AEON-45200 mount, you can bridge the 24-inch gap between your studs using sturdy wood. You can cut a thick piece of plywood or lumber (such as 2x4s or a 2×10) to span the distance, secure the wood into your 24-inch studs using lag screws, and then securely mount the AEON-45200 bracket directly onto the wood backing.
