How to make a socket in the wall

Required tools for installation

sockets you need:

1. clippers;
2. spatula;
3. hammer;
4. nails small in size;
5. punch / chisel;
6. spatula;
7. electrical tape.

punching a brick wall and shlakoblochnogo easiest way to punch in limestone walls Stroebe bit easier to do.Working hammer, be prepared that the resulting opening, you will be difficult to putty and plaster due to its large size.

, is to make small joints between the blocks, in which the cable will be placed to not penetrate the "problem" or openings in the silicate brick wall.This will preserve the integrity of the state of the wall and save a lot of work.

Note in wooden houses generally can not penetrate walls, enough to lay the cable on the surface and hide it in a small protective box.To hide the cable in the wall is strictly prohibited within the compliance with safety regulations.

installation sockets in the wall: step by step instructions.Step 1: Prepare Stroebe

Stroebe - a narrow "groove" in the wall for the location of the cable in it.Its approximate parameters are: 1.5-2 electric wire diameter at its estimated length.

Determine the height of placing the power point, which depends on the location of the art amenities, however, and from an aesthetic point of view it should be as invisible and do not spoil the interior of the room.The most notable socket is put at the same height throughout the room.

Stroebe is done very carefully and precisely and positioned so that the wire is suited to the device from the bottom.Also, do not make the channel level with the outlet, much better to retreat 10 cm down.

Step 2: Select the cross section of wires and sockets

Particular attention should be paid to the cross section of the wire, which is when the current jumps to 20 Amps should be stable.Because of this, better to buy larger wire size 2-2.5 mm.

For families with children, it is recommended to install the outlet at a height of over 60 cm and choose the ones which provided cover.It is difficult to open a child and it will protect from dust outlet.

Step 3: paving

cable Once the wall is finished rough work to create Stroebe, you need to carefully connect the cable to the meter.The new counters are capable of taking up to 10 cable connections at the same time, so the difficulties in summarizing the cable should not arise.

Important!It is better to connect the socket separately for each room.This will prevent network overload and protect the cable insulation from melting.

Then you run the cable in Stroebe, and should take the help of small nails (they should not drive until the end, and after the bend around the wire, forming a loose clamp) for its secure fit.

Important!It is impossible to plaster Stroebe before you check cables and device performance.

Step 4: set podrozetnik

Enclosures are of two types:

• to a stone wall;
• for plasterboard.

Their installation is almost identical.

plasterboard walls Enclosures look like a plastic box with metal fasteners, which are mounted to the wall surface.Practically they "grab" to the drywall sheets.The opening for the Escutcheon do about 3-4 mm larger than its volumes.

to install sockets in a plaster wall there are some rules:

1. The opening for the cable of electricity is carried out in the supporting wall.
2. wire can be released from Stroebe, but just below the outlet.
3. podrozetnik placed in drywall only after it is stretched to the cable.
4. Try to insert Escutcheon than once, as necessary to alter the hole.

are no such requirements for a stone wall.However, you should remember:

1. openings for Escutcheon may be of different sizes, but must be recessed by 1.5 cm
2. Before fix the wires in their plants podrozetnik..
3. Fix podrozetnik possible solution of sand and cement, but better and faster it will make alabaster:

• first layer - on density as sour cream, to fill the empty slots;
• second layer - a dense composition fill the inside of the opening.

Step 5: fasten

outlet sockets are for single, double and multi-channel connection, as well as block with additional details.The installation process is almost the same for them.

Each outlet consists of an inner component (mechanism), Clem and decorative frames (boxes).

Clem is attached to the inner part of the socket and has this special brackets.On both sides with screws necessary to fix the legs to the body Clem.Around the body and flush openings are provided through them takes place fastening screws for additional fixation.

Connects Clem is very simple: by using a special screw-clamp single wire is attached to one Clem and other wire - to the second.

However, if you install a properly grounded outlet, you need a cable of three conductors, which is most often yellow or brown.It was his output in the hole between Clem and is connected to the ground.

to install two or three outlets in the same block must be installed the appropriate amount of Enclosures.

Reassembly outlet after deformation

Reassembly sockets are often needed after the previous socket melted or her body cranky, came into disrepair.

To reinstall need:

1. Turn off electricity
2. Remove decorative box
3. Advertisement
4. outlet Unscrew wires
5. Put new podrozetnik instead of the old, if it is necessary
6. Connect a new socket (user set out above)

To summarizemore sockets on top of the repaired walls apply this principle: the wire is fed under the skirting, then to the place where you need to plug.After the cable can be hidden in a box, but it will still be visible.This type of work is not without damage to the wall, so for many, undesirable.

Successful repair and take care!
