the wall where I am planning to mount my tv has me a little concerned. I will be running y lines through the all to the attic. they will all be low voltage and terminated at S 1gang wsll plate w/ 6 keystones for sat, ots, voice, data and hdmi.

here is the issue, on tne otherside of this wall lives a gas stove.

what do I need to be aware of, what are the dangers, tips cincerns etc of installing low voltage in a wall w/gas, possibly in between the same 2 studs.

just wanna make sure I don't screw up royally on this one.

thanks all

As long as you don't drill into the gas pipe you'll be fine.

the spell checker is (or should be) your friend.

UPDATE:

Ok so I will be running POWER through this wall now being that I will have a TV mounted on the wall. Is there anything I should look out for when running romex through a wall w/ a gas line in that same area?

Thanks

Please hire a licensed, insured, electrical contractor.

While not a complicated job, if you need to ask the above questions, it would most likely be for the best.

I was planning on using the PowerBridge and running it through my UPS then the wall. Would you still advise getting an electrician?

The installation of a powerbridge, while a worth while idea for other reasons, doesn't really lesson potential hazards which could be inadvertently created by a less than experienced installation.
