If running a power cord through the wall is against fire code, how are you supposed to hide the wires?
1801925
The kit comes with an extension cable that connects both ends of the outlet. That cable is approved for running behind the wall. Your "power cables" would remain outside the walls. The one from the TV goes into the top outlet and a separate power cable goes from your electrical box to the bottom outlet.

Hi. I would check with your local electrician to see if it up to code. If not, you can run the wires below the tv on the wall and cover them. Home Depot sells the kit.

You could put a hole in the drywall behind the unit and one next to the outlet and fish the cord through

You can rewire the outlet plugs so that the one being utilized is hot... if ya know what yer doing ya won't get shocked doing it... ';)Or you can just leave the switch on all the time... and hope the kids don't switch it off if yer computer is plugged into it while dong some important stuff that a cold shut down will trash some of yer data... ';)You can pull the switch cover plate, remove the switch and hot wire it, then replace preferably with a solid cover... or actually one can hot wire it and leave the switch in place... it just won't do anything if someone flips it...

Someone on here had a great idea of hiding it behind a picture! Something I never though of but would even be easy in this respect to hide the wire in the wall if you are super OCPD. Worth a try!

Yes, if using outdoor, please use an extension cord with GFCI circuit protector, which is available in your local Home Depot or Ace Hardware Store.

the heat from the eco-heater comes through the circulated air, and if the wall-socket is too close, you may cause a fire. And I agree with Peter Millis' answer: if you use the wall socket, the cord will go right in front of the HOT heater...BTW: you can do what you want, but you will bear the consequences.

Leave the cords in, but only use cords with right angle plugs, so you don't put your eye out.

There is a hole for wires to come up from the lower shelf to where the TV sits. There is another large hole behind the TV to run wires. The back of the unit is wood grain cardboard. If needed additional holes can be cut into that at discreet locations.

I used the enclosed power cube with wires and spliced the wires to a three-prong power cord. Match the colors on the wires of the power cube to the colors of the wires in the power cord. You can buy a power cord or just cut the end off of an existing one. The splice won't fit in the power cover supplied so it can't be used for this purpose. It's ugly but functional.

Wasn't aware of that. No idea. We don't unplug. Sounds like a "can't sue us" warning in the bizarre event of an electrical fire. Same warning would probably apply to any plugin electrical device.

This will do a good job in combining all the wires together. If I wanted to hide it against white, first, I would make sure that I could bring it down a side of the fireplace, then wrap it with a nice white fabric that matches the fireplace, or good old duct tape comes in white now, that might work.

Hello and thank you for your interest in our product, this specific unit has a hollow pillar holding up the television, so you can place the wires coming from your television and other devices through these holes to keep them concealed from view. Please feel free to contact me for further assistance.Thanks again Andrea

Put the outlet in the adjoining cabinet to reduce the risk of short out and possibly a fire.

There isn't a place to hide wires coming down from ceiling. Only suggestion is to run wires in back of pipe and hold in place with zip ties. I mounted my cable box and gaming consoles on shelf below tv were wires are barely visible.

The base plate would not be enough to cover an outlet but a speaker attached, you could probably hide one.

easiest is to use matched color wallpaper to cover the wires... or if you want to drill holes everywhere in the room, thats pretty tough...

Not sure what you are trying to do there. A wall plate wouldn't cover it, but the connections are in the back so you can't see them anyway. I have mine set up under my TV and the wires all come from behind it so they're out of view.
