Premium Tilting Mount for Large TVs

The SANUS VLT5-B1 is a premium tilting TV wall mount designed for compatible 42" to 90" displays weighing up to 175 lb. Its low-profile design keeps the TV approximately 2.17" from the wall while providing easy tilt adjustment for improved viewing and easier access behind the screen.

Who Should Choose the VLT5-B1?

Choose the VLT5-B1 when you have a large compatible TV and want a clean, close-to-wall installation with vertical viewing-angle adjustment rather than a full-motion arm.

It is especially useful when the TV is mounted above normal eye level, where downward tilt can improve the viewing angle and help reduce glare.

Fingertip Tilt Adjustment

The VLT5-B1 allows the TV to tilt up or down without removing it from the wall. SANUS specifies a tilt range of approximately +12° to -7°.

Adjustment knobs can be used to control the amount of tilt movement or restrict movement after the preferred position is set.

Low-Profile 2.17-Inch Depth

The mount positions a compatible TV approximately 2.17" from the wall for a clean, low-profile appearance.

The TV can also tilt upward to provide easier access to cables and connections behind the display.

Side-to-Side TV Positioning

The TV brackets can slide laterally along the wall plate after installation, helping center the television relative to furniture, a fireplace, or other room features even when the wall studs are off center.

ProSet Post-Installation Adjustment

SANUS ProSet technology allows fine positioning adjustments after the TV has been mounted, helping correct small alignment or leveling differences without removing the entire mount.

Wide VESA Compatibility

The VLT5-B1 supports a wide range of mounting patterns up to 700 × 400 mm. Always verify your television's exact VESA pattern, weight, and mounting-hole configuration before installation.

TV screen size alone does not guarantee compatibility. The TV must also remain within the mount's weight and mounting-pattern limits.

Supports TVs Up to 175 Pounds

SANUS currently rates the VLT5-B1 for televisions weighing up to 175 lb (79.3 kg), including accessories attached to the TV.

Do not exceed the manufacturer's stated weight capacity.

Wood Stud and Concrete Installation

The VLT5-B1 can be installed on suitable wood-stud walls, solid concrete, or concrete block when installed according to SANUS instructions.

For steel-stud construction, SANUS requires the appropriate steel-stud mounting kit. The mount should not be attached to drywall alone.

16-Inch and 24-Inch Stud Layouts

The wall plate accommodates common 16" and 24" wood-stud spacing. Always locate and verify the center of the studs before drilling or fastening the wall plate.
