![]() ![]() The TV was actually purchased way before the room was even finished. Back during the holidays we scored a 20% off Target coupon for one item in the store (and it didn’t say “excluding electronics” – woot!). Plus, as we’ve learned after the fact, it’s nice that it faces away from the room’s door because you can’t hear it down the hall. There was really only one wall that made sense for the TV in this room, since it was just about the only windowless and slanted-ceiling-less wall in the space (it sits across from the built-ins we shared last month). Adding an infrared receiver (we used this $14 IR receiver from Amazon)īut before we could worry about hiding the TV wires, we had a couple of things to check off our list first.Getting our power strip off the floor (we already had one, so this step was free).Installing an in-wall cord system (we used this $40 all-in-one DIY kit from Home Depot).Mounting the TV to the wall (we used this $18 mounting hardware from Amazon).So we thought we’d break down the 4 steps that we took to hang our TV, eliminate every visible cord, and hide the cable box.Īll-in-all, these four steps cost us less than $75 and none took more than an hour to execute (a couple only took a few minutes). But in adding a television, we didn’t want to create Cordfest 2016, and have always wanted to try mounting a TV on the wall. Pull the hose out through the bottom hole, unscrew the insulation cone and screw on the hose connector.While our recently-finished bonus room upstairs was never intended to be a dedicated “media room” or “theater room,” we always knew it’d make a great spot for special family movie nights.Depress the elbow springs, rotate the elbow into the hole, guide and release the springs into the hole and then gently push the elbow into position.Feed the cone into the top hole and pull the string down firmly to pull the hose through the insulation until the elbow reaches the top hole.Feed the plum bob through the top hole down inside the wall cavity between the insulation and the plasterboard/drywall sheeting and pull the plum bob out through the bottom hole.Screw the CableClear insulation cone onto the trimmed hose, and tie the plumb bob string onto the insulation cone.If you encounter insulation in the walls during installation, the included specially designed CableClear nose cone and plumbob are designed to make it easy for you to install the hose.

Standard Australian, USA and Euro wall plugs generally fit right through so there is no cutting cables and voiding your TV warranty.Īdditional cables can be added anytime with no hassle. The 50mm (2") diameter hose allows most cables to be gravity fed through without needing any wire pulling rods. The elbow and spring mechanism is designed for all plasterboard / drywall sheeting from 9mm (⅜") up to 13mm (½") thick. There's no removing plasterboard and you won't need to repair or re-paint any walls.ĬableClear standard kit can hide cables up to 1m (3'4") inside the wall, however the flexible hose is fully adjustable to suit almost any TV height.Ī 1m Extension Kit is available to hide cables a total length of 2m (6'8") inside the wall for TVs mounted extra high.Īll CableClear components are manufactured to the UL94 V0 flammability standard, so CableClear not only meets but exceeds the V1 standard set by most international building safety codes for in-wall electrical conduits.ĬableClear is designed for new or existing standard stud walls including 70mm (2 ¾"), 90mm (3 ½") and thicker.
