Wall mount tv on exterior wall

[T74]

Doing a rough that calls for a wall mount tv on an exterior wall. Walls will be spray foam insulation. Anyone have good solutions for low voltage cables between tv and furniture/ equipment below?

Usually I would install an Arlington TV box for the tv and then snake whatever cables I need to another box behind furniture but that won't be possible because of the insulation.

Plastic boxes with PVC conduit between them, installed during rough-in..

Plastic boxes with LARGE PVC conduit between them, installed during rough-in..

1.5" minimum so HDMI cables can be GENTLY pulled.

If it were my house, I'd like something like laundry inserts for their plumbing. I'm just considering data, video, etc. For power, conventional as @LarryFine suggests.

Two friends ran system vacuum tubing, 2" diameter, with long radius sweeps for AV purposes. They were very satisfied.

I’ve started using the new On-Q dual purpose enclosures. They have KO’s for 1-1/2” conduit. I run a pipe down to a 2gg LV box below it if needed for AV equipment.

I’ve installed them behind all of the TV’s in my house now. It has a mounting plate to hold a small receivers or Apple TV’s etc….

See page 3 of this doc…

I couldn't figure it out even with your description. Do you have an item number?

Smurf tube, (ENT) much easier to run than schedule 40.

Pics of that Legrand box I linked above ….

This is the 17” version. It can hold quite a bit. This one in my bedroom has an Apple TV, AirTV 2, antenna amplifier, and USB SSD for OTA dvr storage.

The 9” version is really enough for most installations.

Is that power strip being used in place of permanent wiring?

Its plugged into the duplex receptacle in the top of the enclosure. Legrand doesn't yet offer a power strip custom made for this enclosure.

I use sump pump hose.
It's 1-1/4" and is super flexible.

It comes in a 25 ft package for '15.00

Slick and easy

And you couldn't find one without a USB charger that usually bursts into flames?

The Legrand 17" enclosure would work for the Samsung Picture tvs large control box and the Legrand catalog photos show its placement.

electricians take notice of this. I needed something like this last year for multiple samsung tvs

Yes, it was designed with that device in mind
