What goes inside a wall and what never does
Only parts rated for in-wall use go inside a wall. A standard power cord or an extension lead never does.
| Inside the wall | Never inside the wall |
|---|---|
| In-wall rated power kit | Standard power cord |
| CL3-rated HDMI | Extension lead or power strip |
| Low-voltage signal cable | A plug-in cord bundled with others |
How a rated kit is fitted
A kit has two recessed boxes joined by rated cable: an upper one behind the TV with a receptacle, and a lower one near the floor that takes power from a short cord to an existing outlet. HDMI passes through a brush-covered opening in the same bay, and the whole run stays between two studs.
What the numbers show
- Upper recessed box A recessed box behind the TV holds the receptacle the TV plugs into.
- In-wall rated cable Rated cable runs between the boxes inside the stud bay.
- Lower inlet box A recessed box near the floor takes power from a short cord to an existing outlet.
- Signal pass-through A brush-covered opening lets HDMI cables pass through the same bay.
- Stud bay The bay between two studs is the protected route for the cable.
Fire blocking, shared walls and metal studs
Many walls have a horizontal fire block inside the stud bay that stops the cable run, which can be cut around only where allowed. A shared wall in a townhome or condo is avoided, and metal studs call for grommeted openings. Where the wall cannot be opened, a paintable raceway is the alternative.
- Fire block in the bay: the route is changed or a raceway is used.
- Shared wall: an interior partition is the usual choice.
- Metal studs: protected openings are required.
In-Wall Wire Concealment — common questions
Can a TV power cord go inside the wall?
No; only in-wall rated kits go inside, and a plain cord never does.
Does hiding the wires need a permit?
A kit that plugs into an existing outlet adds no new circuit, but a new outlet or circuit is electrical work that is permitted and inspected, and it is an electrician's job.
