Tired of looking at all the cables coming from your TV? Want a clean, modern look to your entertainment center? Hide the cables behind the wall with one of these kits! In this video I go through the process of installing an in-wall cable management system, which not only hides the TV cables but also routes power behind the wall and up to the TV mount.
Since this is an exterior wall, I have to deal with the insulation in the wall when installing. It's not a big deal since the cables just slip between the insulation and the drywall.

Ok so I did this a few years ago and ran 2 HDMI cables thru. I came across a fire block and overcame this by cutting out a section of drywall at the otherwise of the wall and drilling a hole in the fireblock. The cables went thru no probs. Problem is I have since tiled the wall at the other side and I now want to run a 3rd HDMI to the TV from my new soundbar. Any suggestions???

My wife saw alot about running a flex pipe behind the wall to protect cables from mice and what-not. I work for a cable company and run cables all the time but have never used a pipe but what are you're thoughts? Seems like it would damage the drywall to fit one in there
@GlennFrazeeYT
@GlennFrazeeYT 2 года назад
If you have access and feel like it, conduit is nice for when you inevitably have to run new cable. It's hard to install once the drywall is in. Knock on wood, we don't have issues with mice.

The paper could be part of the vapor barrier, though if you don't have plastic film probably not. A little bit of insulation coming out is fine.

Great video and a very thoughtful idea, well appreciated too. However, the difference in length between your tv and the cabinet underneath the tv isn't that much at all. A single short white colour cable management sleeve would had better visibly hidden away all cables rather than cutting through wall at both ends.

@daviniarobbins9298 Год назад
Not so easy if you have a brick wall not dry wall. That would require chipping away at the plaster and some of the brick to route cables then re-plaster afterwards or use some cable trunking(which would be easier as removing plaster and re-plastering is a messy job and pain in the neck. Dust gets everywhere even if you are careful as I found out after removing a dado rail and re-plastering the wall afterwards.

Dont understand how this is safer than just running the tv power cord directly into the wall. There is still live power going between those 2 outlets wheter its romex or a power cord. Any good quality power cord isnt just going to spontaneously catch on fire and tvs dont draw so much power that heat is an issue.
@GlennFrazeeYT
@GlennFrazeeYT Год назад
Romex is coated in a fire retardant jacket. More importantly, there are reams of testing data on use and safety of (and correspondingly, insurance companies' acceptance of) Romex installed within walls, and potentially none on appliance cords. As always, you do what you want in your own home. Following the electrical code is usually your safest bet.
