BEST ANSWER:Thank you for your question. The space required from the receptacle side must be 3" from the stud but no more than 5". This item is designed for retrofit work only. I would recommend double checking the measurements you have in your wall.

I've installed a quad box. Can I remove the back tabs and mount this to the box?

BEST ANSWER:Not sure what your box looks like, but I doubt that they would be compatible. The receptacle sticks out on that side. It's designed to go behind the drywall a bit, so it isn't a square. Hope that helps. This worked well for me to install without any box.

I would have had to pay big bucks to my electrician to install one from their shop. Having it in advance, I only paid an hourly rate to install this and some other stuff. Plan ahead!
i do like this and it is offered with a Surge protection for that expensive tv ??, my only complaint would be it's so darn large... with a mount and that it's just hidden by a sixty five inch tv.
Used in ceiling for projector installation. Only issue I had is the outlet does not have screw down terminals and the push clips will only accept 14AWG wire.
First time I've hung a TV on the wall with hidden wires, so maybe I'm easily impressed, but this product worked well. Wired the socket to another, ran the HDMI's through the low voltage part.
Downside - with this mechanism the TV is not plugged to the same surge protector as the rest of the equipment. Plus-side is it's within code... Make your own choices, I guess.
I used this behind a Monoprice full motion bracket and a 32" LED TV. It is a little large, meaning that the plastic of the outlet housing contacts the metal TV mount. I corrected any deflection by using large washers between the drywall and the TV Mount.
PROS: Great recessed box with pass through for other cables.
Recessed Low Voltage Media Wall Plate w/ Duplex Receptacle
Like others have said, it's big. The cut out is roughly 7' x 7". Once installed though, it looks and functions great. I mounted an iPad on the wall of a closet, then mounted this on the other side of the wall to supply power for the iPad.. I works great and the customer couldn't believe how well it looked.
I've ordered more to add to my install options.
PROS: Looks very nice once installed, Good stability and plenty of space to plug in what you want. Lock into the cutout nicely.
Easy to install and sturdily made. Will buy again when eeded.
PROS: I wanted to mount an ultra thin TV on the wall. This device enabled me to bring the media cables and power cables out of sight and behind the TV. A neat and professional way to install the TV.
CONS: The area for concealing power transformers could be larger.
