Thanks for watching!

Best wishes

I think you will find most UK walls are brick, not like the US wood and plaster board. Kit won't work.

@@richardw3294 really? 🤔🤔🤣🤣 And I have only been working as a tradesman for twenty years. I was commenting on how good the kit is. Deary me.

​@@richardw3294 I disagree with this 😅

🍻just finished moving:)

Thank you!

I installed an electrical outlet behind the tv that has surge protection built in. And add it to the circuit from the lower outlet. That way you don't need the wierd power jump cable or a surge protector on the floor

If your above the fire blocking, I’d try and stay just above and then drill a hole in it through the box opening.

They sell a dual outlet kit for you to plug it into the top portion behind the TV. I have that one and I'm currently trying to figure out how to do this install with a fireblock and insulation in the way. The only indicator I can help you find it is to search powerbridge two-ck. Hope that helps!

Do not feed any power cords through the wall

It would not be possible to power up the prongs in this configuration, its essential just the male end of a cord.

The other end of it is the TV. Unless the TV is capable of energizing the male prongs, you shouldn't have to worry about it.

My son in law does high end house builds in NZ (mostly multi mil. coastal beach retreats) and they took to using Torx head screws for this reason as they look aligned regardless. Stainless Steel of course….

The box has separate compartments for each.

Oh,I forgot that.I'm a retired electrician for 10 years.worked for 43 years and loved it!!!

Hey Buddy, I'm still kicking!

@@TheFunnyCarpenter Awesome!! Been meaning to request a video on your thoughts on fasteners ( screws vs. brad nails vs glue etc). Which you Prefer and why. BTW I still owe you a coffee if you’re ever out west in Langley!

As short as possible to reach the video source

There's a link in the description to Amazon

Yes

@@TheFunnyCarpenter Thank you!

Interior walls usually aren't...but not always. Depends on the house. But yeah it'll be a pain to get it through if they are. In that case it's helpful to use a wall fish, which is a rolled up length of stiff (but still flexible) wire that you can use to push through the wall, then attach your cables onto the end of it (electrical tape is best for this), then pull the cables through to the other hole, and detatch from the fish.

Cheers Pete🍻

deep cuts

🤣

They should be torqued to spec irregardless of position.

The bracket MUST be screwed/bolted to at least one stud (within the wall).

You've not seen many new builds then. Exterior walls will be brick or more likely block, interior non load bearing walls will be stud and drywall, aka plasterboard.

European here. From a region where domestic construction is predominantly brick and concrete. I really don’t understand this hatred for drywall construction. There’s more than one valid way to build a wall.

I live in Ireland and drywall is very common.

He did. U just didn't pay attention. So, when he pushed the three wires inside he then screwed it, then gave it a tug to make sure the wires were tightly screwed in. He screwed it into the wall, then jumped the power with the provided cord. Meaning, plug the provided double headed cord into the new outlet and the existing outlet. That's how u get the power. Hope that help

Me too

So?

Enjoy doing everything the hard way?

@@kingkonggordy just enjoying not whining when mild wind blows off paper house 😅

@@hosemarian Hurricane Lee passed over my 'paper house', which has been standing since 1900, last weekend. It's still standing. BTW, there are plenty of stud and plasterboard walls in houses in the UK.

I was actually impressed with the kit… but yah I could have definitely gone in a more pro direction. But I thought this would be useful for those folks out there that don’t want too open up existing boxes and splicing wires.
