Hi Tracey,
Look a resin fixings. They don't expand as such but the resin bonds onto
the substrate to for a tight bond.

<p>Â </p>
<p>Hello all</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>I've just made my first foray into the large screen TV world
and am looking for some advice on various topics relating to it.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>I'm going to be mounting the TV using a Sanus VLL5 bracket,
onto a wet plastered Thermalite block wall.</p>
<p>So no dot and dab cavities to worry about, but I am concerned
about fixing the bracket into a Thermalite block.</p>
<p>The Sanus bracket is a USA product and the only two wall types
covered in the instructions are timber stud and solid concrete
blocks.</p>
<p>The supposedly UK based support for Sanus is based in Holland
and they were about as much use as a chocolate teapot.</p>
<p>They hadn't heard of aerated concrete blocks and were unable to
offer any advice.</p>
<p>I've web browsed and there seems to be a lot of recommendations
for the Rigifix product, if anybody here has used those?</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>I contacted an aerated block manufacturer's technical support
and they advised against using any form of expanding fixing in a
lightweight block.</p>
<p>So it looks like I am back to using the Sanus supplied 10mm
diameter plastic "Rawlplug fixings, unless anybody has any
better ideas?</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Next comes the problem of feeding power and all the other
ancillary cables to the rear of the TV.</p>
<p>I am lucky in that the wall that I am mounting the TV on is an
internal cavity wall, that was created to lose a "foul"
pipe.</p>
<p>I can therefore cut a suitably sized hole behind the TV and
fish all the cables that I need, diagonally down through the
cavity, a distance of approx. 1.5m.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>But what type of box or outlet to put in the wall to feed the
cables to, any recommendation or advice is welcome?</p>
<p>Again I've done some searching and come up with this product,
which would seem to do pretty much what I want, albeit at a
fancy price.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.sync-box.com/recessed-outlet/";>http://www.sync-box.com/recessed-outlet/</a></p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>I want to mount any AV equipment remotely in a Node/Store room
on the first floor and I envisage that an AV amp and PVR would
be located about 6m from the TV.</p>
<p>From the web browsing that I've done, I shouldn't have any
problems using HDMI cables over that distance.</p>
<p>I was wondering whether to utilise the Digital Audio
Output
(optical) or stick with the HDMI output for audio and having
done some web browsing, I can't see any advantage to be gained
by using the optical output, especially as the cables seem to
be critically length limited.</p>
<p>A Blu-ray player will have to be Wi-Fi connected to give me the
best options on placement within the room.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Any comments on the above would be much appreciated</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Many thanks</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Tracey</p>
