Wall Mounting Screws For Tv

There are a few things to remember when you're out buying the right wall mounting screws for TV. The size, kind, and weight capacity of your TV, as well as the structure of the wall, will all play a part in choosing the best screws for your specific need.

Size of Screws for TV Mounts

The most popular TV sizes are 32", 40", 42", 46", 48", 50", 55", and 60". The size of the screws you'll need will vary depending on the size of your TV. As a general rule of thumb, you'll need screws that are 1/2" to 3/4" longer than the thickness of your TV. So, for a 32" TV, you'll need screws that are 1/2" to 3/4" longer than 1.5" (the average thickness of a 32" TV). For a 40" TV, you'll need screws that are 1/2" to 3/4" longer than 2" (the average thickness of a 40" TV), and so on.

Types of Screws for TV Mounts

There are two main types of screws used for TV mounts: wood screws and lag bolts. Wood screws are designed for use in wood studs, while lag bolts are designed for use in concrete or brick walls. The type of screw you'll need will depend on the structure of your wall.

* Wood Screws: Wood screws are available in a variety of sizes and lengths. The most common size for TV mounts is #8 or #10. The length of the screw will depend on the thickness of your TV and the structure of your wall. * Lag Bolts: Lag bolts are a type of screw that is typically used for heavier loads. They are available in a variety of sizes and lengths. The most common size for TV mounts is 1/4" or 5/16". The length of the lag bolt will depend on the thickness of your TV and the structure of your wall.

Weight Capacity of Screws for TV Mounts

The weight capacity of the screws you choose is important to consider. The screws must be strong enough to support the weight of your TV. The weight capacity of screws is typically measured in pounds per square inch (psi). The higher the psi, the stronger the screw.
