Dropping that drywall piece into the wall is a sign of a professional installation. Only a homeowner would bother with the screw. But your right about the wife!

I like this design because you can plug the TV into a surge protector at the bottom to keep your equipment protected.

I installed an electrical outlet behind the tv that has surge protection built in. And add it to the circuit from the lower outlet. That way you don't need the wierd power jump cable or a surge protector on the floor

Could you have hard wired it to the outlet if you didn't need the extra cords, or will that get you into trouble with electrical codes?

What about if the fire break is in between? Also, i found they make a surge protected outlet when I hung my TV. Added that on the same circuit as the lower outlet and installed directly behind the tv. and then I didn't need that weird power jump cable down low or surge protector. Lots cleaner imo. But this is not a bad way if there's an entertainment cabinet that covers it all up

Looks good but I have some reservations about the power jumper lead as it appeared to be a doubled ended male connector which is what is known as a kill lead. Removing the wrong end of this lead with the power on would expose powered prongs which would be rather dangerous.
@TheFunnyCarpenter
@TheFunnyCarpenter Жыл бұрын
It would not be possible to power up the prongs in this configuration, its essential just the male end of a cord.
@jdemuro1

The other end of it is the TV. Unless the TV is capable of energizing the male prongs, you shouldn't have to worry about it.

They sell a dual outlet kit for you to plug it into the top portion behind the TV. I have that one and I'm currently trying to figure out how to do this install with a fireblock and insulation in the way. The only indicator I can help you find it is to search powerbridge two-ck. Hope that helps!

@jdemuro1
@jdemuro1 8 ай бұрын
Interior walls usually aren't...but not always. Depends on the house. But yeah it'll be a pain to get it through if they are. In that case it's helpful to use a wall fish, which is a rolled up length of stiff (but still flexible) wire that you can use to push through the wall, then attach your cables onto the end of it (electrical tape is best for this), then pull the cables through to the other hole, and detatch from the fish.

He did. U just didn't pay attention. So, when he pushed the three wires inside he then screwed it, then gave it a tug to make sure the wires were tightly screwed in. He screwed it into the wall, then jumped the power with the provided cord. Meaning, plug the provided double headed cord into the new outlet and the existing outlet. That's how u get the power. Hope that help
