Installing the wall mount on a brick fireplace
This model came with a template for determining the location of the holes for mounting the wall bracket. When using the template on a brick fireplace, and lining up the two top holes for the bracket in the center of the course of bricks, the bottom two holes would end up in the mortar line. Adjusting the template up or down would result in the holes for the plugs being half in the edge of the brick and half in the mortar, for both the upper and lower bolts. My concern is that the mortar is weaker than the brick itself and may not hold the weight - about 50 lbs.
Any opinions about the placement of the wall bracket on the brick?
