@@StephenHelwigTalksTech Do you have one for how to install a TV mount? I have seen where people say, you must have studs....that is one thing I am looking to do next as well with a sound bar (Floating idea)
@StephenHelwigTalksTech2 жыл бұрын
@@Theaquaplex unfortunately I didn't record that part. You do need to have studs. The mounts are designed so that it will align to a stud.

Good job, Brotha! I actually copped 2 of the WM-2 kits on clearance at Wal-Mart for $10/ea. and plan on using one for an upcoming install of my 86" LG. You explained the process very well and I have just subbed to your channel.

Great video, but in order for me to connect other cables to the tv like hdmi I would have to make another hole to route those wires ..

Yes you need to make two holes

It has an opening in the box to pass wires through. Thats what the little brush/wires are in each of the boxes.

So quick question, why is a power bridge like this safe to run behind the wall but not the actual tv cord or extension cord?
@StephenHelwigTalksTech Жыл бұрын
I suppose you could run an extension cord, however the reason for doing this is as much for looks as for function.
@richcooper6880 Жыл бұрын
I had considered the same, but the reality is, Romex wire is designed to be installed in a wall, an extension cord isn't. If your extension cord in the wall starts a fire your insurance company may have a thing or two to say if you file a claim...
@Karim-ik5ij9 ай бұрын
Romex doesn't heat up and cause fires. No power cords are supposed to be run behind the wall per code

What happens if you need to cross studs? Can I drill through studs?
@StephenHelwigTalksTech3 ай бұрын
That is a better question for a contractor. I personally would avoid doing that. There also shouldn't be a need to cross studs based on the design of the PowerBridge.

I already have an outlet at the bottom. Can I just take it off and replace with the bottom box or do I have to cut a new hole to install the bottom box?
@StephenHelwigTalksTech Жыл бұрын
You need to install the box at the bottom in order to have the wire come out from behind the wall. So you'll need to cut the hole.

Possible to install this on plaster walls as well as drywall?
@StephenHelwigTalksTech Жыл бұрын
I'm honestly not sure. I've never done this on plaster and wouldn't want to provide inaccurate info. Maybe check the manufacturers website for the kit you are buying and see if they mention it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

@StephenHelwigTalksTech Жыл бұрын
Hey Zane, all you need to do is simply route your cables, for instance an HDMI cable, through the slot in the box you installed and the top and then pull it out of the box on the bottom. If needed you can remove the bottom box temporarily to make it easier to access the cable on the wall.
