How do I install this mount on a concrete wall?

To install the AEON-45200 mount on a concrete or masonry wall, you will need a few specific tools, including a hammer drill, a 1/2-inch masonry drill bit, a 1/2-inch socket wrench (or bit driver), a level, and a pencil.

Here are the step-by-step instructions for a concrete installation:

  • Position and Mark: Place the wall plate against the wall at your desired location. Use a level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal, and then mark the four mounting hole locations,. You can also use the guide’s adhesive backing to hold it in place while you level and mark it.
  • Drill the Holes: Using your hammer drill and the 1/2-inch (13 mm) masonry drill bit, drill the four mounting holes into the concrete surface. Make sure each hole is drilled exactly 3 1/8 inches (80 mm) deep.
  • Insert Anchors: Insert the provided wall anchors into each of the four drilled holes,.
  • Attach the Wall Plate: Align the wall plate with the wall anchors and insert the 8x70mm lag bolts,,.
  • Tighten Securely: Tighten the lag bolts so the wall plate is firmly attached, but do not over-tighten, as this can damage the bolts and strip their threading. It is highly recommended to do the final tightening by hand using a ratchet wrench and socket.

Once the wall plate is securely fastened to the concrete, you can move on to assembling the adaptor plate, attaching the brackets to the back of your TV, and carefully hanging the display onto the mount arm assembly,,.

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.
