Used in conjunction with the MM340 Standard Mount, the MM540 Enhanced Mount and the RB100 Recess Box, the SSB40 serves as a direct replacement for their included wall plate when it can't reach your existing stud placement. Customers with a single stud centered in the intended mounting area can attach the SSB40 to your MantelMounts lifting arm the same as the wall plate, but the adapter has mounting hole configurations specifically for these single stud installations, as well as installations to large posts or beams (common with outdoor patio installations). Please view the Video Tab to see this accessory in action.
NOTE: The SSB40 must be paired with an AB40 Horizotnal Adapter Bracket if mounting an MM340 Standard Mount or an MM540 Enhanced Mount to a horizontal surface such a a cubby hole or recessed alcove, or if serving as pass through support for thin brick facades or simulated foam "stone" panels that can't support the weight of a MantelMount independently.
NOTE 2: The SSB40 is also needed as a bolt pattern adapter if recessing the MM340 or MM540 mounts with the RB100 Recess Box.
Specifications: Single Stud Upper Bracket - Length 260.35 mm, Width 163 mm, Height 2.5 mm. Single Stud Lower Bracket -Length 25 mm, Width 163 mm, Height 2.5 mm. Weight: 3.4 lbs.
Features: • Used in conjunction with the MM340 Mount, MM540 Mount and RB100 Recess Box. • For installation with a center stud. a beam, or to adapt the AB40 Adapter Bracket or the RB100 Recess Box. • Use 3 Center Lag Bolts for center stud installation • Use 4 Corner Lag Bolts for Post or Beam installation • Matte Black Powder Coated to match MantelMount

Worked Great
Review by Charles K. on 2 Jan 2025review stating Worked Great
The single stud adapter work great. Fortunately I had a stud in the center of the wall I was going to hang the MantleMount. This provided a very clean installation. I reccomend having 2 people to install the MantleMount.

Recessed box saved a lot of space works great. Doesn’t go all the way down though. Seems the recessed box could’ve been made shorter with the same range of motion.
Review by Philip S. on 18 Feb 2024review stating Single Stud Adapter Was Useful
The SSB40 single stud adapter enabled me to take advantage of a single stud and 10" backing board centered over our fireplace without the wide "wings" of the standard mounting bracket for my MM340 mount. Now we can have stone facing installed on the wall above the fireplace that will only have a small vertical box area blank around the SSB40/MM340...Read MoreRead more about The SSB40 single stud adapter enabled
. The only complication was that the SSB40 had to be attached to the MM340 prior to mounting the SSB40 on the wall; a heavy combination to hold up while attaching to the wall. Read LessRead less about The SSB40 single stud adapter enabled
Favorite MantelMount Element(optional):
Really like having the TV at a comfortable viewing height.
Review by John K. on 12 Jan 2024review stating perfect for a custom mount location.
I used this plate to attach the mantel mount to the back of a recessed box that allows the mount to to retract back into the wall and, therefore, minimizes its visibility.

Favorite MantelMount Element(optional):
ability to keep TV parked up above the mantel when the fireplace is used and lower the TV to a comfortable eye level location.

MantelMount Team

A: Hello,
The SSB40 is not compatible with the MM815. However, you can use the MM815 with the recess box as the MM815 and RB100 are compatible.

Q: There are 3 studs above the mantle (each 16 inches apart) and I wish to install directly over the middle stud. Do I need the ssb40 or can I install the mm540 to the left and center studs, and then hang the TV directly over the center stud?
MantelMount Team
11/21/23
A: Hello,
You can install the MM540 off center to catch two studs and then off set the lifting arm so that it is centered over the mantel.
However, for a much cleaner look I would recommend purchasing the SSB40 and installing it directly to your centered stud.

Q: Does the SSB40 work with the MM815 motorized mount?
MantelMount Team
06/05/23
A: Hello,
The SSB40 will not work with the MM815. However, if you choose not use the wall plates, the MM815 lifting arm can be mounted directly to a structural surface.

Q: Do I need anything else to attach the MM340 or do I only need the SSB40? Do you have a video of how to install the MM340 to the SSB40?
MantelMount Team
02/14/23
A: The MM340 comes with everything needed for a basic installation. If you plan on using the SSB40 for installation, then the MM340 paired with the SSB40 is all that you need.
Currently we do not have a video in regards to SSB40 installation.

Q: Studs are probably about 16” apart, so wouldn’t be able to get standard bracket centered. Would the plastic bracket cover hide the whole bracket if the lift arm isn’t centered on the bracket? Just looking for a cleaner look…
MantelMount Team
10/07/22
A: Hello,
While you wouldn't be able to center the standard bracket, you would be able to offset the bracket and then center the arm. The wall plate covers give about a 4" variance. While the entire mount is never covered by the wall plate covers even in the standard configuration, it would still have a clean look.

Q: I would like to install an MM540 mount using the SSB40, however, the center stud is not quite at center. Could I use the left two holes on the SSB40 to screw into the stud and then use the center and right holes to screw into a shiplap wall (not sure of the exact shiplap thickness)? Will this support a 54 lb tv okay?
MantelMount Team
10/06/22
A: Hello,
The SSB40 needs to be centered on the stud so using the SSB40 off center and then using the other holes to attach to the shiplap will not be structural enough. How far apart are your studs?

Q: I am looking to purchase your MM540 mount to be used on uneven stone over an indoor fireplace. The builder nailed in a 2 x 10 between the studs at the center of the wall over the fireplace for the sole purpose of assisting with a future mount. Studs are 16 inches on center. Do I need the SSB40 or will the MM540 work just fine with the bracing and studs? I'm concerned that with the uneven stone it will probably be necessary to find different spots to drill into the mortar between the stone. Using the SSB40 - means - I don't have much choice where I can drill.
MantelMount Team

A: Hello,
The MM540 can be attached to uneven stone with the use of hanger bolts. Hanger bolts can be purchase from any local hardware store. That said, I think for ease of installation and aesthetics, the SSB40 may be the best option for your application.

Q: In your option would it be better to offset the original brackets or use the SSB40 adapter? I have a 70 inch Sony 7000 TV The mantel is approximately 73 1/2 inches wide. There is a stud at 18 inches 38 inches and 57 1/2. The offset would be around 10 to 11 inches. Thanks for any help /Users/donfoshee/Desktop/IMG_3238.HEIC

A: Hello,
Visually, I believe the SSB40 would give you the cleaner look, but it may not be as centered as offsetting the standard wall plates.
