Included Components
Required for installation
Introduction
Directional Mounting Arrow
The Directional Mounting Arrow stamped into the top of the P5080T wall mount
indicates which edge is the top.
Wood Stud
Installation
Minimum of 2 by 4 wood stud to be used
Minimum de 2 par 4 bois goujon pour être utilisé
You must secure the wall plate to three (3) wall studs with a minimum of six
(6) lag bolts (2 lag bolts for each stud found).
- Use a stud finder to determine the center of wall studs in the vicinity of the wall plate.
- Use a pencil to mark the center of each of the wall studs.
- Place the wall plate against the wall in the desired viewing location.
- Use a pencil to mark the upper right mounting location along the center of the wall stud.
Drill a “pilot hole” in the center of the upper right mark using a 1/4” drill
bit and power drill.
Only use a 1/4″ drill
bit when drilling the pilot holes.
- Place the wall plate against the wall and align it with the pilot hole.
- Insert one (1) 5/16″ x 3″ lag bolt and one (1) 5/16″ washer into the upper right mounting hole and tighten using a socket wrench and 1/2” socket.
Do not overtighten the lag bolt.
-
Level the wall plate.
-
Use a pencil to mark the remaining five (5) mounting locations along the Center of each wall stud.
Two people are recommended for this step; one person to level the wall plate and another person to drill the pilot holes.
Only use a 1/4″ drill bit when drilling the pilot holes. -
Insert one (1) 5/16” x 3” lag bolt and one (1) 5/16” washer into each pilot hole.
-
Tighten all lag bolts using a socket wrench and 1/2” socket.
Do not overtighten the lag bolts when attaching the mount to the wall. Improper Installation may result in personal injury or property damage.
Concrete Installation
Two people are recommended for this step: one person to level the wall plate
and another person to mark the mounting locations.
Drill six (6) pilot holes
of each mark using a drill and a 3/8” masonry drill bit.
Drill 3 inches deep.
Only use a 3/8″ masonry
drill bit when drilling pilot holes.
Insert the Finned Anchors into each pilot hole.
Lightly tap each Finned Anchors into place with a hammer.
- Insert one (1) 5/16” x 3” Lag Bolt and one (1) 5/16” washer into each pilot hole.
- Tighten all lag bolts using a socket wrench and 1/2” socket.
Do not overtighten the lag bolts when attaching the mount to the wall. Improper installation may result in personal injury or property damage.
Selecting the Mounting Hardware
-
Insert a small straw or toothpick into the threaded inserts found on the back of the flat panel.
-
Use a pencil to mark the depth of the threaded insert on the small straw or toothpick.
-
Mark the straw or toothpick 1/8” above the depth of the threaded insert, as shown in Figure 1.
-
Insert the small straw or toothpick into the remaining threaded inserts to compare and verify their depth using the straw or toothpick’s 1/8” allowance mark.
-
Locate the correct diameter screw for the threaded insert.
If the screw you selected is longer than the 1/8” allowance mark on the small straw or toothpick, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, do not use this screw. The screw length must not bypass the mark. -
Test each size of the screws provided.
The correct screws should thread easily into the mounting point and not pull out when tension is applied.
Universal Washer Installation
Premier Mounts’ Universal Washers are designed to accommodate the various M4,
M5, M6 and M8 hole sizes required by flat panels.
Do not place excessive pressure on the back of the flat panel, as this may
damage your flat panel.
The Universal Washer must be installed between the head of the mounting screw
and the mounting bracket as shown.
Does your flat panel have:
- Recessed mount points?
- Uneven mount points?
- A curved back?
- Any obstruction near the mount point?
If Yes, you must install Universal Spacers. Remove the mounting brackets,
Universal Washers, and mounting screws from the back of the flat panel.
Proceed to the “Universal Spacer Installation” section.
If No, skip to the “Locking and Leveling Screw Installation” section.
Universal Spacer Installation
Premier Mounts’ Universal Spacers allow you to attach the mounting bracket
to flat panels which have recessed or uneven mount points. Each Universal
Spacer adds 1/4” to the distance between the mounting bracket and your flat
panel.
The Universal Spacers must be stacked and oriented as shown.”
The Universal Spacers must only be installed between the mounting bracket and
your flat panel.
The Universal Spacers will fit M4, M5, M6, and M8 screw sizes.
Proceed to the “Locking and Leveling Screw Installation” section.
Locking Screw Installation
You must install the locking screws before you attach the mounting bracket
to the back of the flat panel. The locking screws consist of two (2) M6 x
120mm screws.
Thread one (1) locking screw into the bottom mounting hole on each of the
mounting brackets. Make sure the locking screw is securely threaded into the
mounting tab before proceeding.
Do not thread the locking
screw any further once it is even with the mounting tab. Threading the locking
screw any further will prevent you from safely attaching the flat panel to the
wall plate.
Lock-it™ Security Barrel Installation (Optional)
Optional security configurations include:
– PCB-CSL1 (sold separately)
– Padlock (Combination or Keyed; commercially available)
- Remove the locking screw from the mounting bracket.
- Place the locking screw into and through the security barrel (see illustration below).
- To secure the locking screw from being accessed, place the screw with the security barrel into and through the Lock-it™ Security Tube.
- Re-insert the locking screw and security components into the mounting bracket.
- Tighten the lock screw and security components until seated in the mounting tab.
Do not thread the locking screw any further once it is even with the mounting
tab (see illustration to the right). Threading the locking screw any further
will prevent you from safely attaching the flat panel to the wall plate.
Do not overtighten the locking screw.
Lock-it™ Security
Barrel Installation (Optional)
Optional security configurations include:
– PCB-CSL1 (sold separately)
– Padlock (Combination or Keyed; commercially available)

- Re-insert the locking screw and security barrel into the mounting bracket.
- Tighten the locking screw and security barrel until seated in the mounting tab.
Do not thread the locking screw any further once it is even with the mounting
tab (see illustration to the right). Threading the locking screw any further
will prevent you from safely attaching the flat panel to the wall plate.
Do not overtighten the
locking screw.
