Hi,
I want to mount a smaller lcd tv which weighs around 12kg onto one
of the internal walls in our house. It is one of those strange
internal walls made up of a sandwich with a sheet of plasterboard on
the outsides and a centre made of a honeycomb structure. The TV
mount unit is basically a thick steel square plate with the 4 holes
in the corners at 100mm spacing (just like a standard vesa mount on
the back of a tv). Do you think that 4 of those hollow wall anchors
would be strong
enough to hold the plate onto the wall ? It has a simple tilt
adjustment so once fixed up it would just be left in position and
not pulled about. Any advice would be welcomed or other ideas on how to
fix it ?

I would have thought that sleeve anchors[1] would be fine for a load
like that. Its probably quite close to the wall, so most of the load
will be in shear anyway.

I've put quite a few of these up & used exactly those fittings - easier to
pull a sailor off your sister than get one of them out.



You haven't seen my sister.
