Hi,

Just wondered if anyone could advise suitable wall fixings for tv wall bracket. The bracket is the M-Form MF-3252TB for 18.5kg Samsung LCD.

I think that I should be using 10 X 100 solid wall fixings? Any suggestions from B and Q?

The breeze block is not hollow. Would the depth of 100mm be overkill or would 80mm suffice? Do I really need to go for all 12 fixings on the bracket?

Any help appreciated.

cheers

4-6 100MM will be ok - 4 in the top 2 in the bottom
As the top has the biggest pull rate.
it is very important you drill the correct size hole
if your still not happy try hinging some weight on it over night :lol:

If not sure use a chemical fix to prevent it falling.I recently used a tube from screwfix and was amazed at how quickly it went hard.The strength of the fix was very good.

Just making sure :wink:

A lot of newer houses use thermailite and it can be a pain to fix to.

Normal wall plugs should be fine.

UHM, a couple of your page links are muddled up on here:- http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/F_F_FASTENERS_FIXINGS.htm

The "Toggler hollow wall anchors" heading links to Grab Adhesives and "Spring Toggles" links to Toggler hollow wall anchors.

Thanks for that, I'll sort it tomorrow when I get home.

A portion of the site was hacked a few days ago and perhaps it is something to do with that, or I could of just muddled up the links :scratch:
