Recessed TV boxes place power connections, low-voltage cables, and plugs inside the wall cavity, helping a wall-mounted TV sit closer to the wall while keeping wiring organized. Combination designs provide separate openings for power and audio, video, or other low-voltage connections, while some include a voltage separator to create a physical barrier between them.

Choose a single-gang TV box when the installation needs a compact opening for limited power or low-voltage connections, and choose a double-gang box when the system requires more room for power, video, audio, or other cables. Installers should also consider the wall setup, since these boxes support retrofit and new-construction work, while some configurations include angled openings, recessed mounting, or a voltage separator for separating power and low voltage.

Yes, many tv boxes support both retrofit and new-construction projects, helping installers create a recessed connection point for flush-mounted TVs. Depending on the design, mounting options may include retrofit wings, mounting dogs, or angled screw holes for attachment to a stud.

Compare recessed depth, angled openings for power and low-voltage cables, and the available gang configuration to keep plugs and connectors behind the wall for a clean, flush-mounted TV installation. Also consider mounting features, such as mounting dogs, retrofit wings, angled screw holes, and plate-positioning tabs, based on whether the project involves new construction or retrofit work.
