TV brackets and the handy householder.

Feb. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- The good news is that fitting your TV bracket is quite straightforward and well within the scope of the average handy householder.

All Intec tv brackets come complete with sensible instructions, the right bolts to secure it to the wall and a wide variety of fittings to fit the TV screen to the bracket ensuring all TV models are covered.

To start the fitting process you should gather up your tools and ideally you will need – a masonry drill, spirit level, screw driver and a dust sheet just in case!

Next decide exactly where you want the TV fitted and mark a suitable position on the wall where you will next fit the tv bracket – ensuring that you check there are no pipes or wires behind the plasterwork.  Hold the TV bracket to the wall and using the spirit level ensure it is completely level.  Then mark the places through the TV bracket wall plate where you are going to fix it to the wall.

Using the drill, make either 2 , 4 or 6 fixing holes in the wall (the exact number will depend on your particular model of wall bracket), fit the wall plugs and return the TV bracket back plate to the wall and screw it up securely using the bolts and / or screws provided.  Note smaller brackets may also be screwed direct onto baton uprights in stud walls but check suitability in the specification first.

The next stage depends on your type of TV bracket.  For smaller wall brackets and smaller screens simply hold the TV up to the bracket and screw in the 4 holding screws securely.  

On many larger sets with “arm” holding systems, first you need to turn the screen over so it rests face on the carpet or something else soft that prevents damage to the front of the TV.  Then screw the arms to the back of the TV using the range of fittings all intecbracket TV brackets are supplied with. Once the arms are securely held lift the TV up and onto the wall back plate so the arms hook over the plate and once in position tighten the Allen keys using the tool supplied, so it is held firmly in place.

Lastly connect up the TV, adjust the angles for the best viewing position and sit back and congratulate yourself on a job well done!
