Q:I have just purchased a 320mks FW and want to install a TV in the bedroom. What is the largest size that would be ok to mount in that area? sagersef
The backer is 15" x 15", take a magnet to find the perimeter. It will depend on the size of the TV you want and how you mount it. A 32" would be ideal.
Q: Is 15x15 standard for all aluminum framed units? What is the backer size/dimensions for wood framed units? Thank you... SBARLAG
Yes, 15"x15" is standard for all of our units that are laminated. This is when the TV bracket is on the exterior wall. If it's on an interior wall, then it's a plywood backer.. The size for the plywood backer is 15x26. Moderator Note: The Transcend line is wood-framed construction, so regardless of interior or exterior wall the backer will be wood. -Howard
Q: What does GDRV state for a maximum weight to be suspended (it would be for the TV and mounting bracket) for this size and type of TV backer ? Secondly, an aggressive threaded screw at maybe 1 1/4" long seems about right. What does GDRV recommend for a mounting screw type/size/etc. to achieve maximum effectiveness to help prevent bracket failure and possible TV and/or wall damage ? Canyonlight
Here's what our service team suggests: We would only recommend a 50 lb limit if you use a 1/2" - 3/4" felt wrapped piece of plywood secured into the EGS backer and then secure the bracket into the plywood and into the EGS. 50 lbs is a lot of bounce weight depending on where said TV is located in the unit.
