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

[@jonesgang]

@@mr.hidden5790 When working on new structures pvc is truly desired for cables. But I am a firm believer you work with what you have at home anyways. lol.

[@mr.hidden5790]

Wow, that is great advice too! THANX@@jonesgang

[@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.

Thank you for this video. I am buying my first home and need to mount a tv.

[@thomasnehren]

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.

[@RickRottman]

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!

[@ONLYGOODleftistisaDEADleftist]

By wrapping the power cable in circles, as you demonstrated, you are creating a coil which will induce current into any conductive material nearby. It is safest to shorten and strip the power cable to the proper length.

[@myboobtubename]

Best tip for me is that the originally installed outlets are adjacent to the stud. Of course! Also makes it easy to find an empty cavity to prevent cutting into wires already installed when opening up the drywall. Thanks for the video.

[@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!

You can also drop fishing string with a metal washer, use a magnet on the outside to pull it down. use the string to pull wires through

[@homebedcats.9293]

@@moonpiespotlight4759 great idea!

[@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.

was waiting for a BICSI chad to come about :D

[@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

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.

[@gsaarchitecturalmechanical5872]

[@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.)

[@pay9011]

Great tip.

[@BrandonCorby-wr5nd]

I hate calling it a "Pro Tip" when he says that it is a tip he figured out after doing what he did be honest and call it "My tip from mistake"

[@rockywr]

Nicely done, very tidy. I would have used a metal coat hanger (drawn out) to feed the wires down in an insulated wall I'd never seen it done with a metal rule so thanks for that tip and the others. Good video and good voice over. From across the pond and another stone walled house but good for the garage/man-cave methinks.

[@NickelCityPixels]

Another way to find the studs... look where you've screwed in the TV wall mount!

[@setha2z544]

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.

[@colinfaed5910]

I like the vacuum cleaner idea! Another trick is to feed the pull string through the tube and tape it to each end before you fit the tube, it's easier to get it through that way.

[@alabrecque3]

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)

[@Seezor]

I was skeptical thinking about fixing holes and repainting but after watching all I know is, I can do this. Thanks for sharing. Good video. Good instruction. That company that makes the kit should be paying you.

[@BoomerKeith1]

If you go to any of the big box home improvement stores they all have a selection of kits similar to this one (maybe even the same). It's a simple process that's almost foolproof (for those of us that aren't working with this kind of thing regularly). I ended up having to cut (then replace) a section of drywall (because just like was mentioned in this video, I had a fire break stud in the bay I was using). I was really worried it was going to look awful after I finished, but I watched a couple of quick KZbin videos about patching drywall and realized it was super easy. In the end, you couldn't even tell anything was ever done.

[@takunna7074]

This kit system kinda sucks, should have its own tube inside connecting the two boxes. And I would want 2 tubes separated one for power and one shielded for signal connections.

[@tinaanese365]

If you do the cutout near the fire break, then you can easily drill through that piece and dont need to touch any drywall

[@troy5292]

Good job Keith! A little research, little patience and a little courage and the rest is easy.

[@ronstandley5635]

Please understand the reason firestops are there - to prevent fire racing up that cavity into your attic and spreading. This knowledge might save your families lives, AND prevent your insurance company denying your claim for fire damage or loss. Yes, they WILL deny your claims if they find evidence! Making a hole in the firestop kinda defeats its purpose, unless you fill the hole with UL-approved firestop caulk.

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.

Some of these comments are pretty rude, but damn... they kinda have a point! Seems illogical to be willing to cut holes in your wall without being willing to learn enough to wire a new outlet for the TV. And just to get it off my chest, I don't think you need to make your own video in order to criticize someone's video. To me, that is one of the reasons for having a comments section.

[@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

[@Flyingcartoonmanz]

Rusty Scupper at least where I live you’d need a permit to do electrical work which will on average set you back $1600 unless you get an electrician to do any electrical work. Therefore I’d pick the way he chose or similar

[@jazisntonaim]

I think even if you ran a new outlet you would need a way to hide the other wires. The cable box, dvd, etc is probably not going to hide right behind the tv.
