If you have to fish wires anyway, why not go with something like this:

I got them a Lowe's for a around 6 bucks a peice. Granted no power like that. But you could just as easily put the power cord through too. Just looks like an expensive option to pretty much do the same thing. Kind of like an over priced extention cord.

 

This is the one I installed in the upstairs bedroom.

Same concept as well but didn't use the corrugated tubing because on the other side of the wall was the second bath and all the pipes were in the way. Had to fish all the wires which was a PITA but the large hole you need for the unit helps makes it easier for my big hands.

Final result from last week:

 

electrical code says otherwise

 

That may be. But no one is inspecting my house randomly and saying I can't do it.

 

Pic no worky for me

 

Maybe because mobile...

 

This is going in s client's house so it's gonna meet code , and I like that you can still plug the tv into a surge suppressor this way because we have lots of brown outs , power spikes and outages where I am , and I'm not cheap

 

I heard you where cheap. Just sayin.

 

What kind of flooring do you have?

 

good timing with the sub floor talk. I'll be replacing my sub floor in my bathroom next week when I renovate it. Somewhere I had read not to glue subfloors, but then saw the discussion today and looked it up again and found that its just if you're doing a second layer it shouldn't be glued to the first one.

 

Fuck that , I glue the shit outta everything

 

Same here.

 

Yeah, those brush plates are for low voltage/AV wires only.

The only time you'll run into shit is when you go to sell the house and the home inspector (working for the buyer) will call it no good.

 

that and you're not allowed to run cords through walls.

 

Like flies to shit

 

What makes the thing oz and j used to run power up to code? Cause it's hard mounted to the wall?

? How is installing a PowerBridge different than an extension cord...
Extension cord cables are not made with materials fire rated to use inside a wall to connect in-wall mounted electrical devices, as referenced in the National Electrical Code for rated in-wall building electrical wire cable.
PowerBridge is installed using specific types of UL-listed in-wall rated building electrical wire, not an extension cord inside the wall.
The in-wall power wire creates a direct "power-extension" by connecting the upper PowerOUT wall plate to the lower PowerIN wall plate together, making a code compliant in-wall power extension.
Depending on your local code requirement, several types of in-wall rated power wire are used. There are several types of in-wall wire that can be used with PowerBridge.
The most commonly used type in the US is best known brand ROMEX®, manufacturer of NM-type wire, made specifically to use inside wall and ceilings to connect all of your electrical outlets, switches and lights fixtures.

The in-wall extension is the "fixed wiring extension" within the wall. The "fixed wiring" is the use of the proper type of building electrical wire installed and secured to screw terminals of the wall plates within junction boxes mounted to the structures walls as required to meet Code compliance.

 

I like to live on the edge.
