Receptacle side of the Mid-Size Plate should be 3” from the stud but no
more than 5” (review picture carefully).
Figure 2
Using the template supplied (see page 2 of instruction sheet), trace the opening needed. Using a drywall saw,
cut a hole in the drywall the size of the template. See Figure 1 before tracing your opening. Remember, the
plates are designed to be mounted between the studs.

Run the source of power to the included electrical outlet box.
Figure 4
Using the supplied duplex receptacle, connect the Recessed Mid-Size Plate to the piece of 12/2 or 14/2 with
ground UL approved electrical building wire that you have pulled from a power source. Strip off approximately 3
inches of the outer jacket of the UL approved building wire. Be careful not to cut the jacket of the inner wires.
Connect the hot line (black) wire to the brass colored terminal screw and neutral (white) wire to the silver colored
terminal screw. Be sure to connect the grounding (green) or bare grounding wire to the green colored terminal
screw (see Fig 3). Once you have wired the Duplex Receptacle, screw the Duplex Receptacle into the electrical
outlet box until the receptacle is firmly secured.

Now use the four screws provided to secure the electrical outlet box to the mounting studs on the backside of the
Mid-Size Plate.

Important: Before installing the Recessed Mid-Size Plate with Duplex Receptacle into the template opening, make sure
to pull your low voltage cables through the low voltage cable opening. If you have more than 4 cables you can remove
the flexible plate that seals the low voltage cable opening. This allows for more cables to be pulled through the opening.
After you have pulled your low voltage or A/V cables through the low voltage opening: Start with the bottom of
the Recessed Mid-Size Plate and slowly slide the plate into the opening. Swing the top of the plate into position until the
entire Mid-Size Plate is flush with the wall. Now screw down the screws with wings; these wings fasten tightly against the
back of the drywall.

flat panel TV mount to be installed. Install your flat panel TV mounting bracket per the flat panel TV bracket
manufacturer’s instructions.
