Hanging a flat TV and running the wires through the wall. Needfaceplate to cover the holes?
Hi,
I have the plasma tv properly mounted and I made a hole in the sheetrock behind it and ran the wires down near the other hole just above the baseboard. Now I need some kind of face plate that will cover the holes and close around several hdmi cables and the power cord. What the proper piece of hardware for this job? Thanks. |

Thanks. get an "old work low voltage ring" and a blank cover plate. then drill out the cover plate until the hole is big enough to pass your wires through. nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

Similar problem. Lowes has a "plug" that is used for computer desks.
Fits into abut a 3" diameter hole. Got two. There is a slot with a "filler." the slot opens up enough to feed the cable through. |

I never cover the holes. If no is going to see it ,why bother. I have
a 1 1/2" hole behind my LCD with wires going through, and also down above my baseboard which is behind my entertainment center that holds my STB, amp, DVD player etc. |

If you leave a nice big hole in a wall, especially right behind an electrical device that could overheat, you provide a nice easy path that bypasses the fire resistant drywall and box covers right to nice flammable studs, and if it's an exterior wall, other flammable material. |
