HOW TO INSTALL A TV OUTLET - DIY TUTORIAL FOR MOUNTED TV

What happens here

Once all wires are securely connected to the new outlet, carefully fold and tuck them back into the new old work box. Avoid kinking or forcing the wires. Mount the new outlet into the box by screwing in the top and bottom mounting screws until it is flush and secure. Finally, attach the new cover plate to the outlet, screwing it in place to complete the installation.

Goal: Secure the wired outlet and cover it for a finished look.

Tools and materials

  • New Cover Plate — Covering the new outlet for safety and aesthetics
  • New Electrical Outlet — The newly wired power source
  • Screwdriver Wera — Securing the outlet and cover plate

All righty. So, we now got our outlet back together right there. We have now the data box back together. It looks like nothing happened, everybody. And then now, as you can see, we have our wire secure. Our new old workbox installed. And look at that, everybody. Looks like nothing happened. So, we are about to now strip the jacket of this ROMX and install our outlet. So, stay tuned. All right. So, we have our outlet all wired up. Just want to show you guys, you know, to double check. So, the black wire goes to the gold terminal. All right. The white wire goes to the silver terminal and the copper wire goes to the green terminal. And I only have one ROMX, everybody. And this ROMX, just to clarify, is going to that outlet over there. So, I'm getting power from that outlet below, and it's going to this outlet up here. And the wire is being fished through the wall as I was able to get my wire um through this blank plate over here. Before it was a data box not being used. I put a jumbo plate. And there we go, guys. Just like that. And we sleeved our wire through the wall. We're almost done here, guys. Now, time to put the plate cover on.
