Peel off your baseboard if you can. Drive a long nail straight down as close to the drywall as you can. Baseboard should cover the hole you made when its reinstalled. Go in your basement and hunt for that nail, once you find it measure 1.75 inches in towards the wall and drill straight up. Pickup a bb10 low voltage bracket and a drywall saw along with a single gang blank plate. Go back upstairs and on the wall lined up with the nail, trace the inside of the bb10, not the outside on the wall. Cut it out with the saw, install the BB10, fish your tubing up or down, drill a hole in the blank plate and slide it over the tubing and install. Take a plate off of a receptacle near by and measure the height of the box. Make sure your bb10 is the same height, again to the inside of the BB10. That way if you move the tank or sell the house you can just pop a new blank plate on and it won't stick out like a store thumb.

Make sure your plates are nylon, won't break or crack when you drill it. Buy two there cheap as dirt.
