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!!

Your video was very professional, and you did a HELL of a job! By the way, I watched your video in advance and collected all the tools ahead of time, and it took me 45 minutes. GREAT instructor.

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.

Great video!! I did this in my bedroom in 25 minutes, cleaning included!! Thanks so much!

[charleswoody]

Just did this myself! Love seeing no cords on the wal and appreciated how easy this was!

Thank you for making a video about this that doesn't suck and waste time. Good camera work, straight to the point, details about difficulties you may run into and how to work around them. A gem to the DIY Youtube Community

I really appreciate this video. I watched it yesterday, purchased the kit but added a surge protection option and installed it today. It took a bit longer, I didn’t remove my tv but once completed it looks very professional. I was very happy with the kit and video instructions you provided. Thank you very much!

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.

Subscribed! Why are you showing up in my life this late? I came from your drywall clip and I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate it! I was quoted 300-650 to fix the drywall but with your vid, I only spent $56 at Home Depot to fix the drywall hole!

Thanx for posting this video. This type of install makes it look very clean, neat, and professional. I will definitely reference this video when I purchase a home.

For the newbies a tip: use the piece of drywall you removed to get a feel for those anchoring side tabs. This will let you get a feel for how tight to turn them in order to anchor them securely.

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.

I was in the middle of my wire installation when I discovered my inside wall was in fact insulated. The tape measure worked great. Thanks.

[danielkinney]

This is the best video I have ever seen on YouTube. Professional AAA+++

[PapuCantDanceSaala]

excellent video on how to do it yourself for pretty much most folks. I have done it the harder way by installing outlets on the stud. This method is sooo much simpler

[dkwilliamsjr_MA-PC]

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

[jeffhorner]

Perfect. Moving in to a new house later this month, and this is exactly the kind of prep work I need to do. Thanks Nils.

[Avril-Enzo]

I almost paid someone to do this, after watching this video i was able to do it myself ... very easy, Thanks man

[tjac]

I love the X-ray vision to help with the install, my wife finally understands what I’m trying to tell her, great video

[purenstinctxi]

Really liked your idea about the vacuum hose looking tube and taping it behind the panel. Very out of the box thinking. Appreciate the video. Great step by step.
