Premium Fixed Position Mount

Ideal Use Cases

The SANUS Premium Series VML5 is a fixed-position wall mount designed for 40- to 50-inch flat-panel TVs weighing up to 75 lbs. It is well suited to rooms where the television will be viewed at eye level and positioned as close to the wall as possible. Its fixed-position design provides a straightforward mounting solution for a defined viewing location.

Side-to-side sliding makes the mount useful when the television needs to be repositioned horizontally on the wall. Hidden pull-down straps also provide access to cables behind the display, supporting installations where connections may need to be reached after the television has been mounted.

Why Choose This Model

The VML5 combines close wall placement with practical adjustments that remain available during and after installation. The television can slide from side to side for more precise positioning, while built-in leveling adjustments allow its alignment to be corrected after hanging. Expandable TV brackets help create an appropriate fit within the stated universal support range of 100 x 200 to 400 x 410.

A safety tab provides a secure connection that can be heard as it engages. The mount is also safety tested and UL Certified, adding documented safety credentials to its installation-focused design.

Installation and Integration

Tool-free mount assembly is intended to make setup quick and uncomplicated. Hardware is included, reducing the number of installation components that must be obtained separately. Before installation, confirm that the flat-panel television is between 40 and 50 inches, weighs no more than 75 lbs., and falls within the specified universal support range.

Once the expandable brackets and mount are assembled, the television can be hung and then adjusted. Horizontal sliding helps refine its position on the wall without requiring exact centering during the initial hanging step. Leveling adjustments provide another opportunity to correct the final placement after the television is supported by the mount.

For cable access, pull down on the concealed straps to reach connections behind the television. This feature allows cables to be accessed while preserving the mount’s close-to-wall positioning during normal use.

What Makes It Different

The defining advantage of the VML5 is its combination of fixed-position wall placement and installation-stage flexibility. A fixed mount can place the television close to the wall, while the VML5 still permits horizontal sliding and post-hanging leveling. These adjustments address two common placement needs without changing its fixed-position format.

The audible safety-tab connection provides clear feedback when the connection is made. Tool-free assembly simplifies preparation, expandable brackets help accommodate the stated support range, and hidden straps make the rear cable area accessible. Together, these features focus on fit, positioning, connection, and ongoing cable access.

The SANUS Premium Series VML5 is a focused choice for securely mounting a compatible 40- to 50-inch flat-panel television at eye level and close to the wall. Its 75 lb. capacity, side-to-side positioning, post-hang leveling, expandable brackets, hidden cable-access straps, included hardware, and tool-free assembly create a practical installation package. Safety testing and UL certification complete a feature set centered on secure mounting and precise final placement.
