How to Hide Your TV Wires for $10

[@TheKobe2002]

A small tip before cutting out the square. Put in a small screw to help pull out the square when finished cutting

[@VegasSue905]

That's genius! I'm totally doing that. Pulling that square out does look awkward.

Great video. A couple of things I might suggest. Ensure that your cables are long enough given that they will be taking a longer route to their connections. It didn't look like you had a lot of play with your cables when finished. Also, label your connections before dropping them down - you'll get your connections right the first time. Thanks for this.

[@ItsTheWells]

Thanks

[@fettyguapo]

Before you cut the square out you can screw a dry wall nail in the center so when you finish cutting it you can simply grab it so it won’t fall down

[@TheHappyKamper]

Nice one

[@SpartanOfLuxon]

[@Serius211]

Running the power cable through the wall more than likely violates electrical code in your state/city. Thing with that is insurance policies do not pay out on claims where electrical codes are violated. High voltage wires are required to be sheathed in romex if they are behind a wall. They make kits for $30-$40 that are essentially extension cords in romex that go into the wall by the original outlet and terminate in a new outlet behind the tv. Lowes and Home Depot both sell these kits. Do yourself a favor and wire it the right way. We all know insurance companies will deny a claim if they can find a reason, don't give them a reason.

[@doniyel]

That's right

[@stefanwagner5638]

Agreed. There ARE kits that are this easy that ARE to code, but they cost a little bit more. And please use a stud finder. There are possibly horizontal fireblocks. Better safe than sorry. There's a reason why as an electrician people pay me to do this for them. It's no longer an easy diy when you're dealing with wallfishing.

[@jameslindsey666]

Hopefully his safe wiring alarm doesnt go off and alert the authorities

[@Serius211]

+James Lindsey the odds of a worst case scenario is slim, but so are the odds of your home catching on fire. Regular power cords do not have a true heat shield, and the worst case scenario is what your protecting against. Your odds of getting in an automobile accident are slim as well, but that doesn't mean that my son isn't getting into a buckled car seat whenever he's in the car. Same logic here brother. It's an additional step and a few extra dollars, but worth it considering the fact that that your 6 figure investment doesn't have a half-assed wiring solution carrying 110 volts in the walls. As a former builder I never approached a job on a build with the "to hell with it, that's good enough" approach. This is where someone's family is sleeping at night. To each their own, but if you can take an additional step to meet a code that's woefully insufficient as it is, why not?

Before cutting in the first hole, run the stud finder up and down to confirm there is no fire block. Common on exterior walls. Nothing worst than finding out you have a board which runs horizontally between the studs blocking your cables from getting to the lower box.

[@SLVBULL]

That's exactly what I was thinking

[@reasoningtruth]

So what if all the bays had fire blocks or draft stops? Leave the wires exposed? Or just notch out the block and patch the small hole? Or get one of those flexible bit extensions and drill a hole in the block? I guess you can have exposed wires in the living room on the other side of the wall.

[@CVM222VOLT]

@@reasoningtruth Those are options. The point is to realize it may not be as simple as this video shows. Some who have no desire to drill through the fire block or do any wall patch so may opt to go surface mount with Wiremold type products.

[@reasoningtruth]

@@CVM222VOLT Thank you for taking your time to explain your point of view to me better. I never gave that a fleeting thought because I'm the type the just does whatever it takes to do the job right. Whatever it mutates into is just a part of the short trip. Most of this type of work I do on the fly. I'm pretty set up tooling-wise to do most stuff around the house.

fire blocks, block fire from rolling upward inside wall.

[@kurk1701a]

First the nogins are to prevent the vertical timbers from bowing horizontally, secondly cut the hole as close to the nogin as possible then get a extended orger bit and drill a hole approximately 35 to 50 mm then complete the job as shown. Third there are the same type of plates but with brushes to prevent dust and dirt comming from the plate hole ,it also helps with the cold air to come in.

Nothing against your install technique - because it is good. However, everyone should consider code requirements for running AC cables behind walls. This is great for signal wire, but typically against code for power. They have kits a little more expensive that can be up to code to run power. Something to consider for safety and insurance sake. Cheers! Edit: completely overlooked the pinned comment lolol

[@thinkngskeptic]

Do you have some detail about what problem could occur with normal AC wires?

[@elguapo5467]

@@thinkngskeptic Many DIY'ers would run AC through the walls, and if done correctly, usually not a problem. BUT you're either a person that follows the rules (elect. code) or you are not. Its too easy to buy the kind that have an elect outlet at top, along with a hole for low voltage wires...then you run romex down to the outlet below, and another piece for the dc wires to come out. Run your cord down thru the wall and catch fire? Good luck collecting insurance.

That would be called a fire block. From what I have researched this is done on exterior walls only. Which means the main walls that are located outwards on your home. They are not your walls between rooms and hallways. Worse case you choose an interior wall for your new location. Or just run the wires through a tube and paint it. There are many choices. Some not as clean as no wires but there's options.

Yes, ideally the TV should be eye level, front and center, especially if you're trying to go for a home theater sort of setup. Wall mounts are mostly an aesthetic thing, or for saving space like in a restaurant where having a big TV stand would take up floor space. In home applications I'll never understand this though. Unless you're also going to mount your set-top box or game consoles or whatever, you're still going to need some piece of furniture to place these things on/in, hence the problem ugly visible wires when mounting. Basically, mounting a TV in your home is just overcomplicating things.

Not a problem. How long do you think that power surge is going to last? The power surge will be over before the wire has a chance to heat up. A power surge is a surge: short lived. So, your house gets hit by lightning and the only insulation that catches fire is your TV cord and ONLY if it is hidden in the wall? Your TV wires are not going to be smoldering in a wall cavity for hours or even a minute. Remedy the situation by putting a plug-in surge protector in the outlet near the baseboard. Run the TV power cord down through the wall (like he shows) and into the surge protector. If there is a surge, the surge protector will trip before any cord gets hot and before your electronics get fried. My TV, router, DVD player etc. are plugged into a surge protector that plugs into the outlet.

+Avesh 007 Yeah...that's a noob mistake, people think you need it at eye level while standing up for some reason?

[@4partmedia]

+Kreepy Pasta it's for being able to view from more then just your couch--- this setup gives the choice of watching it standing up way back in the room (or even from a kitchen) without furniture blocking the view. Plus it's not like it's so high up it's unreasonable--- it's at the same point most home tv's are at.

[@lawrenceb4954]

+ngomusicgroup Problem is you're going to deal with some major neck strain watching the TV from a normal sitting position. It looks to be 2' - 3' higher then it's supposed to be. I'd say it's kind of unreasonable. At a normal position you should be able to view the TV standing up, from the rear of the room, wherever. Not like you're placing it on the ground.

[@AnhNguyen-ek1ew]

depend on how far away you sit from the tv too. if you want to watch tv from other place like kitchen it need to be higher than couch sitting level. again it all depend on individual on how they watch their tv... dont judge.

[@Grizzlee760]

The lines that run through walls to your outlets and light boxes are flexible. Don't know how this is"not up to code" or why everyone is a professional inspector all the sudden haha

[@georgemoore528]

Thank you. I'm not a professional inspector, but everything this guy did looked fine to me. Everyone is talking about fires. I'm like "What did he do that would cause a fire"? He used a stud finder with one of those "hot" indicators to make sure he didn't hit a stud or any live wires. The guys I was going to hire was gonna charge me $300 to install 2 tvs and hide the wires. Their website lists the names and positive feedback from their customers and I bet the installers hid their wires just like this guy did.

[@hossabossa2048]

The power cables are not rated to be ran in an enclosed space. Would it start a fire? Unlikely, but the nec goes above and beyond in some cases.

[@seanjohnson7367]

@@georgemoore528 dude, seriously? People aren’t worried he’s going to start a fire from installation. They’re worried the wire is going to be compromised at some point in the future and start a fire in the drywall.

what if i have a real wall, not crappy drywall?

[@smackerlacker8708]

Then you're fucked, unless it's an exterior wall. In that case, you could just drill through the wall and run the wiring through a conduit on the outside. Worst case scenario, tie the wires together with some zip-ties or something, maybe run them through a plastic conduit that matches your wall color.

EXACTLY!!! Thank you! Just use a stud finder. This really is not optional. It's better to know before you cut into your wall.

[@monojit12345678910]

I read this Comment too late...

[@B15SDMDESIGNS]

Don't fear, If you do run into a horizontal stud you can use a large diameter hole saw and cut a circle out of the dry wall in the middle of the stud so that you can see above and below the stud. Remove the cutout, drill a hole through the stud, feed the cable through to where you want it to go. Once you are done then plug the hole back with the same piece of drywall which was cut out using the hole saw (couple of screws will do). Filler, sand and paint to finish.

[@MrSabbatage]

Against a lot of building code to run power that way. Low voltage is fine, but the power should have Fire rated wire to another outlet behind the tv. Insurance claims can be messy....

[@kevingordon669]

Never had a stud finder that worked good. Started using some strong neodymium magnets on a string. Studs have screws in them holding up the sheetrock, find the screws high up and hang your string straight down, there's your studs. I'm about to mount our 60" tv this weekend, gonna try and do a great job like you did on yours, thanks for sharing.

The idea is to hide the cutouts in the drywall. The cutouts are behind the TV and cabinet. Why then decorate the cutouts with these $5 plates? Just cut the drywall, run the cables.

+dmitriy40 I agree with your decision for the wall plates. I found some that also have 110V power built into them and they are recessed as well. They cost a little more but are very clean.

[@samwright8787]

+gese74 I agree with you just leaving holes in the wall looks like the job wasn't finished

[@ianbelletti6241]

+gese74 Your creepy crawly factor isn't why those plates got installed. It is one thing to have a small hole sized just big enough for one cable which you put ends on afterwards. Most cables for TVs that homeowners will have already have ends on them. This is a case of feeding multiple cables with factory ends on them. Whenever you make such a large hole, you need to put a cover in place to give it a finished look. If you are worried about bugs going in and out of those covers, you can fill the gaps in the cover with caulk (about $3 for a tube and $10 for the caulk gun). If you don't want to run factory ended cables through the wall, there are options out there where you run the cable and terminate the cable to a special outlet plate that has the outlets you need for the type of cables you are using with your TV. Although more difficult to install, this second option would handle your bug issue better than the covers shown.

[@terrystephens1102]

[@bryanmcdermott77]

I tried this, only to find out there was a sideways stud in between the top and bottom hole preventing the wire from being ran from top to bottom 😩🤦‍♂️

[@whatfreedom7]

Little Wolf it’s ok their is a easy way to work around that. Get one of the long flexible drill bits for installs and go in the hole you already made and just punch a couple holes through it or cut a big hole to get a drill in there to bore a hole but that would require patching the large hole.

[@srqnews]

Good idea, thanks. I might use this product and method when I know how to restore the air seal and the insulation that might be lost from the wall holes.
