🔌 Arlington TVBU507 1 Recessed Outlet 3 Gang: Optimize Space and Convenience Review

This is a really good wall box, it really is. Well. No better, no less. Easy to install if you have even a little mechanical skill and can find an easy way to track the box, once inside it's not going anywhere. The built in mains voltage block is good too, thought I'd run to the store for this at the last minute because the one I last installed didn't have a different brand. What bothered me a bit is that when mounted in a 2x4 wall there really isn't much room to bend the wires when they are…

They were great for adding some network wall outlets and wired speaker connections to my house. Also, a big hole in the wall allows me to reach it with my hands full. The screws that hold this in place are VERY smooth and move freely, not those cheap 1-2 gang sockets you get at Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. It sticks very well in the wall, doesn't move and looks fabulous! I plan to order a few more pieces to use in future projects. I wish there was a power kit sold with it so you could use them in…

Excellent box. I mounted directly to the stud with the screws provided, but I like the old job option too. Haven't seen it with drywall or anything, but it's a pretty clean and attractive box. I needed them to run my entertainment equipment through the wall to another TV and so far I'm very happy. One problem I had was installing outlets or panels to connect media. The screws that attach to the socket were too long. This is a standard Decora socket that I bought from Lowe's. You can imagine…

I like the idea of this box and it's quite well made except for one. The screws that come with each keystone set to fix these sets in the box are of very poor quality. The holes provided in the carton for these screws are tapped. It's just a DEEP plastic hole for a fairly long screw, and the screw heads are so badly keyed and soft that when you try to screw them into the box, they screw about halfway in, causing the screw heads to loosen. and you can not adjust with a screwdriver. In addition…

This is a good design, but it has a few limitations. Mounting plates in carton. Since the plastic is quite hard, when tightening the bushing, you can unscrew the screw. I did this and had to replace the box with another one as it was impossible to remove the broken screw. In the replacement box, I ran a 6-32 tap through the plastic holes before trying to put the screws in to keep it from happening again. Also note that you cannot use standard keystone plates to mount RJ-45 connectors. - You…

Very good quality for the price. Easy to install: just mark a hole on the wall with the faceplate removed, cut it out with a drywall saw and thread the wires through the hole, then screw on the faceplate and screw on the clips to secure it, add your own jack configurations (outer panel is decor style so plan accordingly) I placed two empty keystone plugs in the middle for possible expansion, but with thin plugs I was able to add 4 HDMI ports and 2 Cat6 RJ45 Plug connectors into a slot. At first

Overall, the product makes a pretty good impression. However, the design limits what you can use with it. The short version of this is that I would probably choose one that had the bushings both countersunk (like this one) and angled and/or rotated 90 degrees. Even if it was a lot of money. With this version, the outlets point straight outwards, which means that there is not so much space on the front/side of the room or the back/in the wall. First, the implications of HDMI: if you're planning…
