Will the inserts detach from the wall plate so I could use this in a 4 gang box?

Yes they do. The inserts are independent of the faceplate. There are three module insets. Each module is a single gang.

I think it will be really tight. The width of the unit is 1 2/3 inches without the bit, plus you have to add the length of the screw so I think it might not work that well in that situation. I just put it in a single-gang box and it looks a little to tight for working comfort. Are you working with new or old construction. If you are working with new construction buy boxes for that purpose and nail or screw them in, but if you are working on a wall that already has drywall or paneling use old work boxes and they work just fine. I've done a lot of that and have never had a problem. Good luck! I think it will be really tight.

fits on single gang box for power. the other cables go directly into wall space. rwo screws hold it to wall box and two clamps on other side to drywall

A standard double gang box would work fine with this plate. The issue is you usually want to run speaker wire through this plate which means you would need to drill out a hole large enough to fit your wire through the opening in the gang box. In my application I just have a single gang bracket and the plate attaches to that so I can fit the maximum wires through the hole.

in the wall now, but i drilled a hole big enough for the end to fit through. the signal booster fit through the same hole. Not sure if you planned on removing the end and reattaching them. That's new to me if it's possible.

The wall plate itself connects to a standard outlet box like any other wall plate (AC outlet, cable outlet, etc..). I found a handy one at ACE hardware that you can install from the front (outside) of the wall by just cutting the hole, inserting the box, and tighten down the "molly" like tabs. Run the wires inside the wall and into the box before inserting the outlet box into the wall. I hope that helps. Take a look at "Thomas & Betts #b120r Sg Old Work Box" on Amazon for an example of the outlet box.

The remote has a surface mount base slightly larger than the cover plate and sticks out about an inch above the mounting surface. The base has a place for a 9 volt battery to be installed to power the remote so the thickness of the base is to allow for the battery. I don't see any easy way to mount using a 3-gang switch box. I think the base would be too wide to allow a cover plate for the other two switches and the remote would be on the surface of the wall and not mounted into the 3-gang switch box. Since it is surface mounted, you could mount it next to the 3-gang box but not in it.

Not unless you are willing to pull the 4 corner poles apart. Would have to also move plastic end plugs to the 4 shortened pieces.

This product has 2 gang boxes, and they are designed to install in existing walls with 4" cavities. You can install before hanging the sheetrock, but you don't have to. If you have lathe & plaster, then the thickness will be greater, but tabs will extend out enough to grab and hold. Just cut the opening and fit (make sure that there is enough depth for unit to fit, otherwise, you will need to cut as much off the back of the box to accommodate it).This is a great product, and it worked very well for me. I am sure you too will like the end result.

The plate has a slight (1/8") foam backing that allows for variations in textured walls, but I don't think it is enough to account for a wall outlet. Certainly not one with a face plate. Probably need to look at recess options.

It did with my electrical boxes. The rectangle blue ones is what we have in our home. Depending on how big you cut the sheetrock you may need the medium cover plates. The small ones didn't quite cover our drywall holes.

If I understand your question correctly yes, this plate will mount to a standard single gang box. It's size, thickness and whole pattern spacing is the same as any receptacle cover or other cable connector plate

I mounted mine on a standard 3 inch octagonal box with an adapter. If you unscrew the plate on the end, your local ace hardware guy can show you the box to use!

It fits a standard box, but requires a Decora wall plate. A standard toggle plate won't work.

Yes...however if your current outlet plate is oversized you may have problems. I had difficulty getting the outlet into the box in the wall because it is quite deep, so make sure you have plenty of depth for it. We really like this outlet...saves space on the counter by allowing 2 regular plugs plus 2 USB plugs. I really like that it turns off the inverter while a usb cable is not pugged in. Just remember where you put your adapter that you took off your USB plug, just in case you need it to travel or something. Hope this helps.

Home Depot, Lows and other hardware stores all have plates for double gang boxes. They are easier to find for the same style of switch. In your case, you would want to ensure your other switch or power plug is also a decora style (large rectangle shape). If it is not, it can easily be remedied by replacing whatever you have with one of that style.
