    In most jurisdictions it is a violation of electrical code to install ANY power cord in a wall interior walls or exterior walls. You must use a standard receptacle and either Romex electrical wire or steel conduit for 120 volt wiring inside walls.
    Low voltage signal cables such as speaker wires are OK.
    Edit: Looking more closely it appears that the black cable is an HDMI cable which is fine in the wall and its seems according to another commenter the two outlets are connected with Romex which is up to code. My apologies.

    • @ProleDaddy
      @ProleDaddy 2 роки тому +2

      I think you're trying to say is that you can't run 110 and low voltage wires in the same wall cavity, which is the case with code. Just run then in neighboring cavities and all is well if you have an otherwise empty one in the right spot.

    I did this yesterday - worth every penny. I struggled for a bit though because the included tool had a set screw to hold the drill bit in place, and that set screw was loose. The instructions didn't mention this, and I am a dumb DIYer, so it took me a few minutes to solve. After that, it worked like a charm.

      @nick d there’s no electrical work. All that’s being done here and if someone runs wires behind the wall versus in front is literally that….feeding the wires behind the wall.
      This kit is way overpriced. You can do same thing with $10 or $15 in materials from hardware store. It’s hilarious.

      Does that normal outlets which requires romex and a box, and still doesn't allow you to run HDMI and audio cables really make sense if you think about it from a not rich and snobby AF perspective?

    Highly illegal. If the house burns down and these "extension cords“ are found behind the drywall, the insurance company covering the home will likely not cover the fire.

    • @wasteddude

      No offense but you should look into this product more carefully before making a false claim like this. This product is not an extension cord. It's basically Romex.
