Peerless-AV KIP742 – 42" Portrait In-Wall Kiosk Black

Product Overview

The Peerless-AV KIP742 is a 42" portrait in-wall kiosk enclosure designed for large-format digital signage installations where a flush, architectural finish is required. With a front profile under 1", this in-wall kiosk integrates into new construction and retrofit wall cavities alike, making it a practical choice for retail digital signage, corporate lobbies, wayfinding kiosks, and public information displays. It supports displays up to 75 lb with VESA mounting patterns from 200x200 to 600x400, and its extending installation arms accommodate walls of varying thickness. The integrated cooling fan maintains consistent thermal management, protecting the display and any co-located media player hardware during continuous operation.

Product Description

When flush-mount presentation is the priority and a surface-mount kiosk won't meet the design standard, the KIP742 delivers an in-wall portrait solution that keeps the display face nearly flush with the finished wall surface. The enclosure arrives partially pre-assembled to reduce on-site labor, and its adjustable width, depth, and height accommodate a range of 42" panel form factors. The extending arms allow a single technician to position the enclosure within the rough opening before final securing, reducing installation complexity in new construction and retrofit scenarios alike. An integrated fan pulls ambient air through the enclosure to prevent heat buildup during extended operating hours — a critical requirement for displays running 16/7 or 24/7 schedules in commercial environments. The KIP742 is RoHS compliant and supports a media player or small form-factor PC mounted within the enclosure, keeping all signal and power cabling concealed within the wall cavity for a clean finished appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What wall opening dimensions are required to install the KIP742?

A: The KIP742's extending arms and adjustable dimensions allow it to fit within standard rough openings for a 42" portrait display. Consult the installation guide or your Peerless-AV rep for specific rough opening requirements based on the panel you are mounting, as different 42" displays have varying overall dimensions.

Q: Can the KIP742 be installed in an existing finished wall?

A: Yes. The KIP742 is designed for both new construction and retrofit installations. In retrofit applications, the wall opening must be cut to the appropriate rough opening size and the extending arms allow the enclosure to be positioned and secured without requiring access from behind the wall.

Q: Does the KIP742 support a media player inside the enclosure?

A: Yes. The enclosure includes interior space for a small-form-factor media player or single-board computer, keeping all active playback hardware concealed within the wall cavity.

Q: What VESA patterns does the KIP742 support?

A: The KIP742 supports VESA mounting patterns from 200x200 mm up to 600x400 mm, covering the standard mounting hole patterns found on most commercial 42" flat panel displays.

Q: Does the enclosure include active cooling?

A: Yes. The KIP742 includes an integrated fan that pulls fresh ambient air through the enclosure to manage heat from the display and any co-located media player hardware during continuous operation.

Q: Is the KIP742 ADA compliant?

A: The enclosure's flush-mount, sub-1" profile helps facilitate ADA-compliant installations when positioned at appropriate mounting heights. Confirm final ADA compliance with your installation drawings and applicable local code requirements.

Q: What is the maximum display weight the KIP742 can support?

A: The KIP742 supports displays up to 75 lb, which covers the majority of commercial 42" flat panel displays currently available from major manufacturers.
