How To Hide Your TV Wires in 30 Minutes - DIY

[@jonesgang]

Clear vinyl tubing tends to be easier to work with. Corrugated tubing has too many hang-up points whereas the vinyl tubing is completely smooth allowing the wires to slide through the tube a lot easier with no hang-ups. It does cost a little more but well worth the little extra cost. Great tutorial!!

[@mr.hidden5790]

that is solid advice!!! thanx

For the newbies a tip: use the piece of drywall you removed to get a feel for those anchoring side tabs. This will let you get a feel for how tight to turn them in order to anchor them securely.

[@EyesoreJr]

A good tip for doing ANY electrical work, never wrap a wire into a circle when you have extra. As the electricity flows through it turns the circular part of the wire into an electromagnet. This can create interference with all kinds of signals. I see people do this all the time with speaker wire and then wonder why things don’t sound right and why their wire gets warm.

[@toxicsquee3112]

What do you do with cables rest then

[@conniecostner9665]

Thank you. I never thought about it

[@bryandasilva5318]

That’s false

[@EyesoreJr]

Make an “s” back and forth.

[@EyesoreJr]

@@bryandasilva5318 no it’s not, do some research. Do you have any idea what an “electro magnet” is? Apparently not. It’s when you take wire and make a circle with it, the more circles you make and the more electricity you run through it, the stronger it is. Same kind they use on cranes at car crushing/auto salvagers.

If you're having issues getting your cables and cords through the tube while it's in the wall, you could feed them through the tube before you put it in the wall, then install the boxes on each end.

[@RickInMaryland]

Good job! My only recommendation would be to run a couple pieces of string with loops on both ends through to hose for future cables. That way when you need to run another cable in the future, you can just attach the one end of the cable to a loop and pull the string at the other receptacle.

[@qwsxcde0988]

Why would you need a string to fish a cable through the hose? Just drop it right down, that's the point of the hose.

[@jimw.5654]

@@qwsxcde0988 Agree with Rick. As the tube fill, it will get harder to drop more wires down the wall, especially when he said the wire can get pinched at the tube connector. Any good install guy will always add a pull string, great advice Rick.

[@prouddaddyofdos]

I was thinking wire, but string works also!👍🏽

[@stevethomas2285]

Why wouldn't you run the cables in the hose before it's attached to the wall? And yes, a string or wire for future cables, absolutely!

My wife’s been asking me to do this for months. Finally got my chore done today. Was a bit tricky because I have an insulated wall and a 2x10 I put in while framing to make the future TV mount more secure. That board was located directly below where I installed the top opening. After some fighting we managed to thread the hose through all of that. The rest of the install was simple. Very happy with how it all turned out.

[@stevetaylorftw]

When you're putting in conduit like this, prime the hose with several strands of fishing line (also known as monofilament), with loops pre-tied into each of their ends. Once the conduit is installed, use the loop to hook one end of a cable you want to pull, then pull the line out from the other end. I'd leave some extra lines behind to use for extra wires that you may want to attach later. You can secure them in place with gaffer's tape at each end indefinitely.

[@Kyle-yo2mp]

was waiting for a BICSI chad to come about :D

[@Kyle-yo2mp]

And never forget to replace the previous fish line for the next guy :)

[@dulceR6]

I was in the middle of my wire installation when I discovered my inside wall was in fact insulated. The tape measure worked great. Thanks.

[@homebedcats.9293]

Can you get the hose in there, if your wall is insulated? Or do you have to do it without the hose?

[@kHoPhAe]

[@BlondeLeoLion]

I like your tutorial! The downside though would sway people away is how you showed how to pull a cable through the tube. No one wants to take the time to take their whole tv off the wall and remove that each time they have a cable. They want it to be easily accessible. What I do is tie a washer (make sure it’s weighted good) to a string then tie it to the cable I run though. Throw the washer tied to the string down the tube till I find it (works every time and is fast) then pull it through till I find the end of the cord. I keep the string behind my tv so I don’t lose it. Again great video!

[@tortangtalong1]

Great video! I used a pair of desk cable grommets , drilled holes to fit on top and bottom, ran cables using a code approved hose and voila! Same results for under $15.

[@mhb850v]

FYI, there is flexible conduit called “ENT” that is fire rated for in wall use and will be stiff enough to pull wire through. That bilge hose is not in wall rated so if you had a fire, your insurance company could deny your claim for having done work that does not meet building code.

[@martinezajr]

[@PapuCantDanceSaala19]

excellent video on how to do it yourself for pretty much most folks. I have done it the harder way by installing outlets on the stud. This method is sooo much simpler

[@marksadler4457]

When I run wires like this I usually run some slick nylon cord or heavy fishing line first so I have something to pull the wiring with.

[@keithwhitehead4897]

And if you have a pipe between the two ends and need to get something more in there, use some fishing line, site a small bit of rag into it and then use a vacuum cleaner/hoover to suck it from one end to another, works great on line bits of pipe. Just make sure you have tied off the first end onto something so it does not all get pulled through

[@Parnell50]

I don't know how he didn't see that there was going to be resistance when he put the pipe in

[@navy9398]

You're not supposed to coil up the romex 2 conductor wire like that, once you power it on that coil will get extremely hot and could potentially start a fire.

[@dom4039]

You can coil that wire just fine . Reason being that it’s running 120 vac, with the assumption that you’re not running a dishwasher off this additional outlet 3/4 up your wall…. That wire will never be exposed to an amp current strong enough to justify any fire hazard. Now on that note he most definitely shouldn’t coil up the grounding wire like that it should have a nice drop without many twists and turns in the event that a strong enough current ever gets sent through it . (I’m an electrician)

[@Wangavision]

My tip - feed your AV cables into the flexible tube BEFORE you slide it into the wall cavity. Saves the bottle neck at the bends.

[@wlan246]

And leave a pull string. When the time comes to add a wire to that conduit (e.g., Ethernet), you may find that the conduit is too crowded to drop the new wire through cleanly. (And those ribs, which help to make it flexible, will provide about six spots per inch where it can get hung up on the way down.)

[@flightmaster999]

Felix, it has to do with electrical safety. You are not allowed to wire stuff like this if you are not a licensed electrician (it's the law). And having an electrician do this for you will cost you at least a $100, likely more. Also, if your insurance company finds out about this, you'll get into trouble. Most of us here know exactly how to wire directly to the existing outlet, but keep in mind that the world is (very) full of stupid people that would mess this up and burn down their houses.

Totally untrue Dominic....you don't need to be a licensed electrician to add an outlet in your own house. You have no clue what you are talking about

As a electrician for 20 years and now having done A/V for 7 years. It's best if possible to tun your electrical away from.you cables ( HDMI, USB, and even speaker cable 16/2, 18/2). The reason is electrical interference or "noise" as you will. Electricity does cause noise and will get picked up to lower voltage wire such as CAT 5, CAT6, and HDMI cables. He made this been me. I would have fished romex down the wall and joined it to the receptacle. Then on the opposite side of the electrical. Run the cables down on the other side of the stud. This way you can use a cut-in and put a bull nose cover over it allowing for you to manipulate the cables tg o go where you want.

You might mention the following. If you have difficulty getting the non-power cables through the flex tube, feed a semi-stiff fish wire or string through it. You can even use a vacuum cleaner to suck a string through. Then tie or tape it to one end of the TV cables and pull them through as a bundle. Electricians call that a pull-wire for obvious reasons, and that's how they get wiring through conduits, even long ones with bends.

Extremely fast to build, durable but due to them being made mostly during "liberation" by USSR times, quality (angles) aren't that perfect and often suck ass. Still, years ahead of wooden framing and finishing made entirely from drywall, lol.

You had me until that extension at the bottom clean solution except for that.

[@dazdnconfuzd]

That part killed me. Could've run it straight to the electrical outlet and saved some drywall.

[@Battleborn357]

Yeah he could of tapped off the existing outlet, by fishing a 14/2 cable, instead of installing in a seperate stud channel, and having an external power cord. Then he could just cut in a seperate single gang box below for the hose. Everything stays in the wall that way.

[@briand6036]

Commenting from The UK the size of those back boxes is comical! 😂 good video none the less :)

[@rondie.x53]

Looks simple enough Thankyou

[@70saxman]

Thanks for your video on how to hide cable wires. Do you have a video on how to mount a tv and hide cables above a fireplace?

[@JKalfis]

For US people only. We, in europe, use bricks and cement to make our houses xD. Good video anyway :D

[@83Bexta]

No in the UK with have plastered board also. Only older house's were brick. Deh!!

[@stoneice100]

same in South Africa. Need to build wooden cabinet wall.

[@fernandocuellar8859]

@@stoneice100 in mexico use bricks and cement too

[@autumnrain249]

We use concrete and bricks in the US too but put dry wall over it because it hides electrical connections, plumbing, vents, and insulation. It just looks a lot neater.

In russia our homes are built of 1/2" steel.

Probably asked already, but why didn't you just tap into that existing line right at the box? Why exactly anyone would want that setup you made with the jumper over to the line? Just splice directly into the existing box/line

[@josephrichardson2365]

Would cost 5$ instead of.. idk. I didn't listen to what he was saying.

[@Ashinobio]

A lot of you are missing the point. DIY= Do It Yourself. Most people aren't licensed electricians. Most people don't feel comfortable splicing or running electric wires, etc. It would be irresponsible to advise DIYers to do work of this nature. Even the geek squad at Best buy that does home AV installs won't mess with people's electrical.

Great explanation. We’ll done. Thanks.

[@BLAZED116]

Great job dude

[@joeseda8102]

TIP: If you make the cuts at an angle, piece will not fall into the hole you make AND will be EASIER to put back and will have stronger joints on all four sides.

[@Kriterian]

That would be true if you were cutting a hole and then replacing with the cut out but in this case you're putting a square plastic box in the hole instead, which if the sides were beveled you'd damage them anyway.

Who else watching this without having a tv 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

Leaving a "Power cable"with the zip tie runs the risk of the cable heating up, there by having a "FIRE-RISK". Always uncoil power cable or have a competent person cut and reconect the cable. Irish Citizen
