The video demonstrates how to move an outlet behind a wall-mounted smart TV without requiring drywall repair or painting. The host, Scott, explains the steps involved in the process, including:
1. Removing the TV and trim to access the wall.
2. Using a stud finder to locate the studs and determine the best route for the electrical cable.
3. Drilling holes in the studs and using easy guards to protect the cable.
4. Cutting a piece of drywall to install an old work electrical box.
5. Running the electrical cable through the wall and connecting it to the new outlet.
6. Using Wago 221 lever nuts to connect the wires.
7. Reassembling the drywall and trim.
The video also provides tips and tricks for making the process easier and safer, such as using a Zenith trim puller to remove the trim and minimizing damage to the wall and trim. Additionally, Scott mentions that if you need to run HDMI cables or other wires, you can use cable access wall plates, which do not require a junction box.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The project involves moving an outlet behind a TV without doing drywall repair or painting.
2. The TV is mounted on the wall and has a power cord that is visible.
3. The goal is to move the outlet to a location behind the TV to hide the power cord.
4. The project requires removing the TV from the wall to access the area behind it.
5. A Zenith trim puller is used to remove the trim without damaging it.
6. A magnetic stud finder is used to locate the studs behind the wall.
7. The studs are spaced 16 inches on center in most newer homes.
8. A one and one-eighth inch spade bit is used to drill through the studs.
9. Easy guards are used to protect the Romex from nails and screws.
10. An oscillating tool with a wood blade is used to cut the drywall.
11. A grout trowel is used as a guide to make a consistent cut in the drywall.
12. The drywall is cut to a length that will allow it to be re-secured to the wall.
13. A utility knife is used to cut the sheathing off the Romex.
14. The Romex is stripped to expose the wires.
15. Wago 221 lever nuts are used to connect the wires.
16. A commercial-grade outlet is used, which has a feature called back wiring.
17. The outlet is sunken into the wall and requires spacers to be flush with the wall surface.
18. The wiring is completed and the power is turned back on.
19. An outlet tester is used to confirm that the wiring is correct and the circuit is powered.
20. The drywall and trim are re-secured to the wall.
21. Caulk may be needed to cover the Brad nail holes and the top of the trim.
22. Cable access wall plates can be used to pass HDMI cables through the wall without a junction box.
