INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
I. Install the workboxes
1. Select locations for your TV wall mount and the two
plates in this kit.
Select the location of your flat panel TV mounting bracket.
Then select the location for both the top plate (with outlet)
and the bottom plate (with prongs).
2. Use the template provided to mark the locations for
the top and bottom plates.
Both the top plate (with outlet) and the bottom plate (with
prongs) are designed to be mounted between two studs
(see Figure 1). Using the template supplied (see the last
page of instruction sheet), trace the openings needed for
both top and bottom plates. Use a level to be sure the hole
you cut will allow the plate to be installed level.

3. Cut the openings for the top and bottom openings.
Use a drywall knife to carefully cut holes in the drywall
where you traced the template (for the top and bottom
plates). Use caution since you may not know what is
behind your wall.
4. Run wire between the openings.
Pull a piece of cUL-approved grounded 12/2 or 14/2
building wire from one opening to the other opening to
connect the top plate to the bottom plate. Make sure the
piece of wire is long enough to allow for easy installation
of the receptacles. Insert and secure the electrical wire
through the back of the work box taps and pull excess
through to connect to electrical outlets.
Caution – use copper wire only with this install kit.
5. Run A/V cables (if desired) between the openings.
If you have audio/video cables you’d like to connect your
TV to the other components in your home theater, run
them between the openings.
6. Install workboxes in the openings (must meet local
electrical code requirements).
Insert a single gang retrofit workbox (see Figure 2) in each
of the openings. Securely fasten the workbox to the wall.
