14"x14" In-Wall Box for Recessed Power and AV Components

The Peerless-AV IB14X14-W is a recessed mounting box designed to accommodate power and A/V equipment within an in-wall installation. Its removable trim ring, multiple mounting methods, and removable mounting plates support flexible installation before or after drywall is installed. The white, scratch-resistant enclosure measures 15.75 inches high by 15.75 inches wide by 3.94 inches deep and supports loads up to 25 pounds.

Ideal Use Cases

This model is intended for installations that require a recessed location for A/V and power components. It can be mounted between two studs, secured to a single stud, or installed using drywall-only attachment. Those options make it suitable for both stud-based construction and finished drywall applications.

The box is particularly useful when wiring and component terminations must be integrated into a wall-mounted A/V installation. Its 14.4 by 14.4-inch cutout requirement and 3.94-inch enclosure depth provide installers with clearly defined planning dimensions. The source product information also identifies an optional surge protector configuration.

Why Choose This Model

The IB14X14-W combines a 25-pound maximum load capacity with adaptable mounting provisions. Its removable trim ring allows the box to be installed either before drywall goes up or after the wall surface is completed. This reduces the need to restrict the enclosure to a single construction stage.

Two removable mounting plates are included. These plates allow wiring terminations to be completed outside the box before the plates are returned to the enclosure. The design can reduce the time spent working within the confined interior of an installed in-wall box. A white fused epoxy powder-coated finish provides scratch resistance and coordinates with the supplied trim ring.

Installation and Integration

The enclosure supports three documented mounting arrangements: attachment across two studs, attachment to one stud, or installation in drywall only. The package includes two drywall clamps and wood-stud mounting hardware for these installation methods. Assembly is required.

The removable trim ring provides access to the enclosure during different phases of construction. For pre-drywall work, the box can be secured while framing is accessible. For an existing finished wall, the trim ring and drywall mounting provisions support installation after drywall is in place. Installers should plan for a 14.4 by 14.4-inch cutout, equivalent to 365 by 365 millimeters.

The package contains the 14 by 14-inch in-wall box, one trim ring, two drywall clamps, two mounting plates, and wood-stud mounting hardware. The box is wall mountable and has a recessed mounting profile.

Performance Highlights

The IB14X14-W is rated for a maximum load of 25 pounds. Its external dimensions are 15.75 by 15.75 inches, with a depth of 3.94 inches, and its approximate product weight is 6.90 pounds. These specifications distinguish the enclosure size from the required wall cutout and help with wall-space planning.

The product is listed as scratch resistant and uses a fused epoxy powder-coated finish. It is UL listed, TAA compliant, and identified with RoHS, TAA, and UL certifications and standards. The product carries a five-year limited warranty.

What Makes It Different

The defining feature of this model is its flexibility across wall conditions and installation stages. Many of its installation provisions are removable or configurable: the trim ring supports work before or after drywall, the mounting plates permit external wiring termination, and the enclosure can be secured using two studs, one stud, or drywall alone.

This combination gives installers several documented ways to integrate recessed A/V and power equipment without changing to a different enclosure based solely on the available wall attachment. The included drywall clamps and wood-stud hardware correspond to the supported mounting methods, while the removable plates address wiring access during installation.

Final Assessment

The Peerless-AV IB14X14-W is a practical choice when a 14 by 14-inch recessed mounting box, flexible wall attachment, and a 25-pound load rating are required. Its removable trim ring and mounting plates directly address installation sequencing and wiring access. With included drywall and stud-mounting hardware, a scratch-resistant white finish, UL listing, TAA compliance, and a five-year limited warranty, it provides a clearly specified enclosure for compatible in-wall A/V and power installations.
