Customer Reviews

I am happy with this product. I have some "Lessons Learned" after installing it, not with the product itself, with the general installation, that I'll describe below.
Last night I used this product when hanging my TV above my fireplace. My fireplace is one of the "fake" fireplaces, one of the metal inserts with a small flue so there was plenty of space in the wall. Since my fireplace is up against my garage I was able to cut a small hole in the garage to see inside the wall and plan the installation.
To the left of the fireplace is the nook where the components are sitting. I cut two holes in the right side of the nook, against the fireplace wall to install DataComm 45-0001-WH Recessed Low Voltage Cable Plate for running the HDMI cables. I put one higher and one lower to give me flexibility in moving my components around. There is a light switch on the left side of the fireplace, by the nook, that I used to connect power to the electrical outlet.
I had found the studs when installing the mount Sanus Systems Vmt14-B1 Visionmount Super-Slim Mount. I cut a small hole along the stud to make sure I was in the right spot; flush agains the stud. Then I used the actual box to trace the hole onto the wall with a pencil instead of using the dimensions in the instructions. After cutting the hole to size I fed the power from the existing light switch over and fed it through the hole in the wall and into the outlet box. The hole in the outlet is designed to prevent the power line from slipping back through so make sure to leave yourself some slack. I also fed the HDMI cable through to the nook and taped it in both places so it wouldn't fall back into the hole.
Once all the wires/cables were in place I popped the outlet box into the hole in the wall and screwed the longer screws into the studs and it was pretty secure. Make sure you cut out the knockouts. They are in there pretty secure and could break the box if you try and bend them out. For the power outlet I used a Leviton 7280-W Decora Duplex Surge Suppressor Receptacle.
Lessons Learned
1. The TV mount has kickstands that hold it from the wall so you can install the cables. Well, I installed the box where the kickstands should be hitting the wall. So, now they are useless. Make sure that if you have kickstands you install the box so that it is above or below where they hit the wall.
2. The wall in the nook is actually two boards thick. So, when I installed the cable plate it didn't insert into the wall deep enough and I had to cut an arch at the top of the hole to allow the cords room to fit.
3. When cutting the holes in the nook I got too close to the back wall and had a hard time maneuvering the saw, I kept hitting the wall.
4. The cables slip back through the holes really easily, so tape BOTH ends to the wall or something.
5. When installing the faceplates on the power and other things in the box, use the shortest screws to make sure the faceplate is secure. There isn't enough room for a longer screws that come with some faceplates.

I used this to hide the installation of my new flat LED TV. It worked great. The screw holes on the outside corners are 16" apart so it fits perfectly on the outside wall studs I was attaching it to. Nice deep recess to hide all wires and plugs, etc in. Great quality, clean installation. No wires. Jobs a good un.
