-DIY Kit : Behind Wall TV Wire Kit

I used these for two runs in an insulated wall — the first brought 5 cables down from behind the TV to some floating shelves, the second took a large bundle of power & ethernet cables from the floating shelves down to the power/ethernet jacks at the bottom of the wall. TL;DR: This is an excellent product that I would absolutely recommend and probably will purchase again in the future for other projects. The product was definitely well-made, and installation was pretty simple. Here are some things I learned that I would like to share with anyone else considering this product: • I can absolutely confirm that the elbows/plates absolutely can be painted without having to prep the surface. Of course, the paint will scratch off a bit doing some rougher cable pulls, but that's to be expected (I just did some paint touch-up when I was done). • Drilling the hole in the drywall sends drywall dust EVERYWHERE — _incredibly_ messy. If you can do that part without furniture around and/or laying down some covers first, you will be much better off. Like an idiot, I hung my shelves first, and cleanup was a pain. Note: this has nothing to do with this product itself. • There's a reason they include a plumb bob in the package! My first run was a straight drop down, and feeding cables through there was insanely easy. My second run was, by necessity, about 10° off of vertical and feeding cables through there became exceedingly difficult the fuller the conduit became. Every cord required the use of a cable fish to get it through, and the last few had to be fed one at a time. This is because the conduit is flexible, and off of vertical, doesn't form a completely straight line from point A to point B. I'm not sure if the insulation in the wall made this worse or better. On the one hand, the insulation held the bend in place and made it tricky to work with every time. On the other hand, without that insulation the conduit may have sagged enough to make it even more tricky. Long story short, unless you absolutely have to, you want to make sure that both ends are vertically aligned.

BEFORE YOU BUY PLEASE READ: First off, This is an awesome kit. Good instructions (shown in mm not inches FYI) and it includes everything you need. If I can give some advice it’s this: before you install or drill the holes, DOUBLE CHECK YOUR WALL FOR FIRE BLOCKS. they’re horizontal 2x4 boards designed to prevent fire spreading between the walls. If you have them between the two holes you cannot use this UNLESS you drill though the fire block. I HIGHLY recommend that you buy a stud finder that can detect wires to look for fire blocks and wires running along them. (Electricians often staple wires to the fire blocks.) turn the stud finder horizontal and run it up and down the wall instead of side to side. I started my install and found out I had a fire block half way down between the two holes. I managed to still get everything installed, but it definitely turned it into a difficult task. If there aren’t any fire blocks, this kit is so easy to install a child could do it. I highly recommend this kit and will be buying one for my other rooms.

Nice kit which was fairly easy to install. As others have mentioned, I needed to cut out a little more drywall to squeeze the springs through the hole. We have 1/2" sheetrock, and I would not advise using this on anything thicker. Aside from that, everything worked out fine. Our house is a bit older and insulation is sparse, so it's nice to have a sealed system to keep out unwanted drafts/critters/etc. It would be nice to be able to purchase another set of tube/elbow pieces and not have to pay for another hole saw/plumb bob/etc. Edit: They do sell a kit without the plumb bob and hole saw (just checked their amazon store and website), but it is currently listed as "unavailable"/out of stock.

A little pricey, but seems to be very well made, so worth a little extra money. Love not having to look at cables any longer. Should have bought this much sooner than I did. Easy to install, took a little patience to get the tube fed down inside the wall as it is an outside wall, but taking it easy (not being to aggressive) paid off. Looks great once installed, professional look. Glad I spent the money to get this. Save some clean up time - put something down to catch the dry wall dust when drilling the holes into the wall. I had no issues with the tools supplied with this unit. Help tip... I had a issue with an obstruction behind my wall that kept me from using the first hole that I drilled for this project. I was able to drill a second hole that intersected the first hole. This gave me a “plug” piece that was the perfect size and shape to patch the first hole. I was able to secure the patch piece in place; a little mud work and paint, and it looks perfect.

I bought this after getting Samsung's "The Frame" TV - which doesn't have an in-wall rated cable. The package arrived quickly in good shape and the kit included everything needed for installation (assuming you have a drill motor). It was nerve-wracking to drill huge holes in my wall but the directions made me confident that it would go well...and it did. The fixtures that go into the holes are low-profile so I didn't have any problem re-mounting my TV (which only sits about 1/8" away from the wall when mounted). Everything looks great! I'm considering buying another one, now, for the TVs in other rooms. Solid product and good value for the money!

We installed 2 of these in a conference room for multiple wall mounted monitors. As seen in the picture, I had to move one of the holes up because the conduit wasn't long enough. The hole saw blade included in the kit is pretty cheap. Be careful with how much torque your drill uses to avoid warping the metal. I'm glad I had 2 of these because the first hole saw didn't survive. Otherwise installation was straight forward. Overall though this product got the job done.

This is the perfect kit to hide cables inside the wall. Putting tv on wall and have wires showing, you could even add trucking and that would hide it but you would see the trunking. But with this you don’t see anything. You have everything you need in the kit to make this work. Took me a hour or so to do but I took my time to make sure it’s all hidden. The only parts there where tricky was sliding the tube from the top hole to the bottom inside the wall. It would either get stuck and was worried I pull the wall a part or the end of the tube that u pull it through would come off when I was pulling. But time and patience I got i through. Also when running cables through (depending how many you have going through, I had 6) you may struggle but again just take your time and be patience and you will get them through. Well worth the money and would recommend buy this for anyone who is wanting to hide cables inside there wall

I received goods on the time as advertised. Would highly recommend.

A little expensive but beats having new electrical junctures added. Fairly easy install
