Dual Monitor Arm Installation: Clamp, Grommet & Setup Checklist

Installing a dual monitor arm is mostly a compatibility job: confirm the monitors, desk and mounting method first, then assemble and adjust according to the exact product instructions.

1. Confirm both monitors before mounting

The current Viva Elite arm is listed for 13–32-inch screens with VESA mounting. Confirm the exact VESA hole pattern and supported monitor weight for each display before installation; those limits are not sufficiently verified in the current product record.

2. Choose C-clamp or grommet mounting

The Viva arm includes both options. A C-clamp attaches at the desk edge; a grommet mount uses a suitable desk hole. Check desk material, thickness, edge shape and structural strength before choosing either method.

3. Secure the base

Follow the supplied hardware sequence exactly. The base should sit flat and remain stable when the arm is moved. Do not improvise on glass, hollow-core or damaged desks without manufacturer guidance.

4. Attach the monitor plates

Support each monitor on a protected surface while attaching its VESA plate. Use only compatible screws and spacers from the documented installation system.

5. Mount displays and set spring tension

After the displays are installed, adjust gas-spring tension gradually according to the manual. If an arm rises or drops, do not force it; recheck tension and monitor compatibility.

6. Route cables for movement

Use the integrated cable-routing path while leaving enough service loop for tilt, swivel and rotation. Keep connectors and wires out of pinch points.

7. Test the full setup

Move each screen through the positions you expect to use and verify that the desk mount, cables and monitor plates remain secure.
