The Chief FPIWMKIT1 is the rough-in stage of the Tempo flat panel in-wall mount system. It lets the contractor set the in-wall boxes and stud tabs while the wall framing is still open, so the display mount itself can be delivered and installed after the drywall is finished. The boxes fit between 16-inch on-center studs and install much like standard in-wall boxes. Because they can be spaced as needed, the finished system adapts to a wide range of horizontal mounting patterns. Each box provides side-wall knockouts (1.5, 1.25, 1 and 0.5 inch), top and bottom knockouts (1.25, 1 and 0.5 inch), and single-gang electrical box knockouts at the top and bottom for power and cabling. When completed with the FPIWMKIT2 flange-mount-storage kit, the Tempo system supports 65-inch and larger displays up to 250 lbs and, installed per Chief instructions, can eliminate wood blocking on steel studs. Extra FPIWSBX storage boxes can be added for more in-wall equipment space.
