Why Contractors Choose It
- Listed for the applications stated on the Arlington spec sheet, so there are no jurisdictional surprises at inspection.
- Designed around the realities of low-voltage and HDMI runs: separate compartments, recessed receptacles, and bridge accessories that keep cable bend radii within spec.
- Distributed by a Canadian-owned stocking dealer. Maple Electric Supply ships from Ontario, so the SKU lands on site without cross-border duty calcs or week-long customs holds.
- Backed by Arlington's North American manufacturing footprint. It's the same part number you've already spec'd on prior jobs, with the same listings.
- Replacement and add-on availability through a Canadian supply channel means short-notice job sites can pull additional units without re-engineering the order.

Installation Notes
- Power and low-voltage cables must be separated per CEC Section 16 and Section 4-008. Use a divided gang or low-voltage bridge for shared box installs.
-
Primary code reference: CEC Section 16 (Class 1/2/3 Circuits) for low voltage; CEC Section 12-3036 (Conductor separation).
- Verify the Arlington listing on the current spec sheet matches your local AHJ's adopted code edition, since provincial amendments to the CEC can override the federal base text.
- Confirm trade size, mounting style, and accessory pairing against the project drawings before ordering in volume. Maple Electric Supply's counter staff can pull the cut sheet on request.
- Installation must be completed by a qualified electrician where required by local code; the homeowner / unlicensed scope is narrower in Ontario than in several US jurisdictions.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Patterns we see on returns, callbacks, and inspection re-visits around the Home Theater / Audio Video line. Most of them are small, and all are avoidable when the right SKU and accessory get pulled at the counter.
- Routing HDMI through a power-only knockout (CEC 16)
- Forgetting the bridge kit for floor-level power
- Choosing a 1-gang where a 2-gang is needed for hubs
- Buying the box without the LV bridge accessory

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is the Arlington TVBR2505KGC UL and/or CSA listed?
Arlington components are listed for the applications stated by the manufacturer. Always verify the listing on the product's spec sheet against your jurisdiction's adopted code.
-
Is this part made in the USA?
Arlington Industries manufactures the bulk of its catalog in the United States. Confirm origin on the current spec sheet if it matters for your project.
-
Is this for new construction or retrofit installs?
Varies by configuration. Check the TVBR2505KGC datasheet for the exact dimensions, ratings, and accessory list before ordering in volume. Arlington updates spec sheets periodically, so spec the live version from the manufacturer's site for the current job.
-
Does it separate power from low-voltage cables (HDMI, speaker, network)?
The TVBR2505KGC datasheet is the authoritative source on this. Arlington publishes torque specs, listed conductor ranges, and accepted accessories per part number, and those values shift between revisions even when the SKU stays the same.
-
What gang size fits my installation?
Confirm against the published Arlington TVBR2505KGC cut sheet; values shift between configurations even inside the same family. Maple Electric Supply can email a current copy on request and flag any recent revisions that changed listed ratings.
-
Are mounting screws and trim plates included?
Maple Electric Supply can pull the TVBR2505KGC spec sheet on request. Answers here depend on the specific configuration and the listed conditions of use. Anything that affects code compliance should come straight from the manufacturer's current published documentation.
-
Can this be installed behind a wall-mounted TV with limited stud depth?
Refer to the TVBR2505KGC product page on Arlington's site or contact Maple Electric Supply for a copy of the current spec sheet with all listed ratings. Generic family-level guidance is a starting point, but the SKU-level sheet is what the inspector will reference.
