@@charlespancamo9771 well...he sold me about 3 of them. 😂 I need one for the bedroom, my office and theater room. However, the fact that these type of videos are out there will save me thousands doing it myself. Don't knock the mans hustle. It's also not like he picked a shitty product.
Everything looks good. Just use a 1104L box for the receptacle. The box can be screwed to your enclosure in the same spot where you mounted the plug. It will look exactly the same but will now meet code.
What does meeting code mean? Is the one he uses not up to code? Also, what even is the code & how can I look up its definition & or sources? (Genuine Questions, I hope I don’t come across as rude, I’m actually just curious :)
@@Lime.-.Leaf. US NEC for electrical (plugs, outlets, high voltage), in this case no box for wires could potentially leave a hazard for sparks, which could cause a fire. the media box is fine, but the 120v plug that he screwed in has no box for itself (which it needs)
This is the kind of box I wanted to use as a media enclosure for all my network cables and switches. All the ones made specifically for that purpose require 16" OC studs but all the areas I would put one have 24" OC studs. None of the media enclosure boxes have clamps to mount it to drywall like that.
I work in the same industry, but in Europe/Switzerland. Our walls are constructed with bricks or concrete. I wish I could cut something from the wall out; we have to carefully consider it when constructing buildings.
This is not even close to up to code. Do not listen to this dude!! For low voltage HDMI/Network cables its fine but the second he added an outlet in that box it goes against all safe practices andbis a fire hazard. All electrical outlets need to be in a box and not this box where the back of the receptacle is exposed.
@@xpresstvmounting it's a code violation in the US that's what it is Never seen a dual voltage electrical box that is actually code compliant? I know your media boxes don't come with it but it doesn't mean you can't figure out a way to attach something and make it right--and if you can't because it won't look nice, then the product isn't right. I hope for yours and your clients' sake you're at least looping the wire at the outlet screw connections in the correct orientation
@@timmyspov yall are doing it wrong 😂 power brigde or not it needs a box for the outlet which can probably be retrofitted onto that media box/power bridge bs
@@juicebocs574 Well, I don't install tv's but I did look up Power Bridges and they stated they were compliant. However, upon further digging; when you look up the actual language it does say "Flexible cords are not permitted to be run through holes in walls" You are right I did my homework! Power Bridge also says its not compliant on their website. They are using some tricky wording!
I have found some mounts that attach to similar boxes that attach between studs so you can fold the arms into the wall, giving the option of having the TV flat on the wall, or pulling them out for full motion. Do have any experience with these types of mpunts?
To the people complaining about the "outlet", I know nothing of electrical codes and what not, but he mentioned that it's a power bridge, and it took me less than 10 seconds to Google it and find out that power bridges are.. PowerBridge, does not make direct wired connection to the primary electrical premise-wire circuits. PowerBridge is not the same as installing a standard outlet receptacle, as it does not add to, create a new circuit, change or modify the premise wiring. All copied and pasted from Google. PowerBridge hides the ugly cords that connect to your TV from your devices like your cable box, DVD player or game system and provides electrical power connection for the TV safely and easily.

It's code complaint for low voltage wiring, but as soon as you add 120 it needs to be covered from all sides. Since he didn't do it, it is not code complaint
I'm getting a 65" or 75" frame for over my fireplace on a new construction. Where does the box need to be in accordance to the wall mount? Middle, left or right ?
I don’t know either way. I love your craftsmanship. Can you explain because there is something missing in translation. Because a lot of people have an issue with it. What is a power bridge. And why does it mean in this application? Keep up the great work.
Man you reply to all the hate but havent replied to anyone asking what brand that box is. We want to buy the one you buy but you wont tell us what kind of box it is love the content by the way amazing work.

Buy a regular equipment rack - these are bad for manageability and heat.
I like white box, too. 😌
That box is for low voltage right. All outlets should be in a box to contain a short or fire right?
The receptacle is in a contained box he just hasn’t put a single gang plate cover on it look again
I’m sorry your right he should have put a tiger metal box I spoke to soon my bad
@@jasonmoretski6910give it up, you have no idea what you are talking
Damn, that is a hack move for sure.
Pfft. That's the homeowners problem, there's a reason you hire eletrichickens to do real work.
where can you buy one of these?
Drilling the box in is one of my favorite hobbies
You gotta put that outlet in an outlet box. If you get plastic outlet boxes, they will be blue or Grey. Not orange
It’s a power bridge
@@xpresstvmountingWTF DOES THAT EVEN MEAN
@@koleenjoi21 He doesnt even know...
I work in the same industry, but in Europe/Switzerland. Our walls are constructed with bricks or concrete. I wish I could cut something from the wall out; we have to carefully consider it when constructing buildings.
Yeah. I would much rather have brick homes but most homes here are made of wood. We went retro.
As a fellow installer, that would suck pretty bad. We all, collectively, hate old construction.😢

Yeah it needs a box. The way I put them in is with the original electrical box fixed to the back box.
It's against code. Breaks fire safety code. If your house burns down because of it your insurance will not cover it.
It’s not an actual outlet I believe but one that plugs into an outlet and feeds power to that one he screwed on that box.
@@mekhig.9350no such thing as a non-outlet that supplies power. Lol.
@@mekhig.9350 that is just as bad, it's definitely not up to code to be running a glorified extension cord inside of a wall cavity. 😆

Boxes. They sit pretty flat and just need to cut some drywall out
Hold up! You not putting the outlets in a box enclosure? My man better have good insurance

Who is the manufacturer of the box?
You do solid work my friend. Sucked into these videos!
I have found some mounts that attach to similar boxes that attach between studs so you can fold the arms into the wall, giving the option of having the TV flat on the wall, or pulling them out for full motion. Do have any experience with these types of mpunts?
Hi sir, do you installed a box for the outlet itself? Or just the outlet by itself.
That’s beautifully done it’s nice and flush against the wall good job man 🔥

There was a power bridge, I took that and ran it to the bottom of the box. It’s already enclosed.

He doesn't know what a power bridge is. It's his 2 word lame excuse for not wiring the receptacle properly.
Does the TV mounting brackets need to be attached to studs? If so, wouldn't the Frame not be centred with the wall?
