Flat Screen TV Cord and Cable Power Kit

Hi, No. It is not rated to have a surge protector into it. It is only made for the TV to be plugged into it. Thanks,

Hello John, Yes, per Article 210.12 of the NEC all 120-volt, single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere branch circuits supplying outlets or devices installed in dwelling unit kitchens, family rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, parlors or libraries shall have Arc-fault circuit protection. This should have no impact on the installation of the CMK-70 based on the code requirements for the means of AFCI protection as detailed below. The AFCI protection per the code must be at the panel board or located at the 1st outlet on a circuit. 210.12 (A) Means of Protection. AFCI protection shall be provided by any of the following means. (1) A listed combination-type arc-fault circuit interrupter, installed to provide protection of the entire branch circuit (2) A listed branch/feeder-type AFCI installed at the origin of the branch-circuit in combination with a listed outlet branch-circuit type arc-fault circuit interrupter installed at the first outlet box on the branch circuit. The first outlet box in the branch circuit shall be marked to indicate that it is the first outlet of the circuit. (3) A listed supplemental arc protection circuit breaker installed at the origin of the branch circuit in combination with a listed outlet branch-circuit type arc-fault circuit interrupter installed at the first outlet box on the branch circuit where all of the following conditions are met: a. The branch-circuit wiring shall be continuous from the branch-circuit overcurrent device to the outlet branch-circuit AFCI. b. The maximum length of the branch-circuit wiring from the branch-circuit overcurrent device to the first outlet shall not exceed 15.2 m (50 ft) for a 14 AWG conductor or 21.3 m (70 ft) for a 12 AWG conductor. c. The first outlet box in the branch circuit shall be marked to indicate that it is the first outlet of the circuit. (4) A listed outlet branch-circuit type arc-fault circuit interrupter installed at the first outlet on the branch circuit in combination with a listed branch-circuit overcurrent protective device where all of the following conditions are met: a. The branch-circuit wiring shall be continuous from the branch-circuit overcurrent device to the outlet branch-circuit AFCI. b. The maximum length of the branch-circuit wiring from the branch-circuit overcurrent device to the first outlet shall not exceed 15.2 m (50 ft) for a 14 AWG conductor or 21.3 m (70 ft) for a 12 AWG conductor. c. The first outlet box in the branch circuit shall be marked to indicate that it is the first outlet of the circuit. d. The combination of the branch-circuit overcurrent device and outlet branch-circuit AFCI shall be identified as meeting the requirements for a system combination–type AFCI and shall be listed as such. (5) If metal raceway, metal wireways, metal auxiliary gutters or Type MC, or Type AC cables meeting the requirements of 250.118, with metal boxes, metal conduit bodies and metal enclosures are installed for the portion of the branch circuit between the branch-circuit overcurrent device and the first outlet, it shall be permitted to install a listed outlet branch-circuit type AFCI at the first outlet to provide protection for the remaining portion of the branch circuit. (6) Where a listed metal or nonmetallic conduit or tubing or Type MC cable is encased in not less than 50 mm (2 in.) of concrete for the portion of the branch circuit between the branch-circuit overcurrent device and the first outlet, it shall be permitted to install a listed outlet branch circuit type AFCI at the first outlet to provide protection for the remaining portion of the branch circuit.

The hole saw diameter is 3". The depth is 2-3/4". Please follow the link below to see a dimensional drawing for the CMK70. https://legrand.webdamdb.com/directdownload.php?ti=55648072&tok=5GSuFACvLkMXYx8Ss6x7yQRR

Hi Dave, The use of the CMK70 above a fireplace while not forbidden, poses the following challenges and questions. For starters, our product is intended to be mounted between two vertical studs. A power cord is provided to connect the lower module into a standard wall mounted outlet. The provided cord must be utilized and not substituted. Is there an outlet available above the fireplace, if not how will the provided cord be routed to the nearest outlet? Second, Does the TV manufacturer approve of the installation of their product above the fireplace? Third, Does the Mounting Hardware manufacturer approve of their product being mounted above the fireplace? Ultimately, If the TV and Mounting Hardware manufacturer approve of the installation and our product is capable of being installed in compliance with our installation instructions, then I do not foresee any issues. As this is a unique installation, I would recommend consulting a professional installer.

The top grommet assembly accepts television plugs up to a maximum width of 1-1/8". If the plug is angled or rotated 90 degrees it will not fit the plug in the grommet. To resolve this, a short extension cord with straight blade plug can be used to plug into the grommet. The television plug can then plug into the female end of the extension cord.

Hello, This product is designed to be used in typically 2x4 framed wall construction with 1/2" thick drywall. It should work if the plaster isn't thicker than 1/2".

Hello, The concern with using a longer is that screw the wing will be too far away from the housing, which includes a stop for the wing. When the wing gets too far away and doesn't hit the stop, there is no way to keep the wing from just rotating with the screw instead of traveling down the screw to fasten against the wall. Unfortunately this product wouldn't work for the type of wall construction you have.
