How to move the outlet?

method №1 - Using Loop

Perhaps the most insecure of all the options, because theIn this case, the old electric "point" creates a bridge to a new place of connection.As a result, you do not carry it to the outlet down or up, you simply create a number of another.

advantage of this method lies in the fact that as a result you will have a new outlet, and at the same time be able to leave the old.Besides the cost of materials to move independently outlet are minimized.

However, drawbacks you get so much more:

1. compound train is very fragile and it is not recommended SAE rules.
2. wire from point to point will be laid horizontally, which is also very dangerous (we are used to that branching to switches and other fittings carried out only vertically).In their forgetfulness might accidentally run into a risk of electric shock, if, for example, you decide to drill a hole in the wall.To this did not happen, we recommend that before you move outlet, search the wiring in the wall.
3. Current load on the product will increase astwo points will be connected by a single loop.If you connect to both sockets powerful electrical appliances (for example, electric stove and microwave), wiring can be damaged and as a result - a short circuit.

clearly see the connection process, you can loop on this video instructions:

way, the connection stub can have another significant advantage - the wire does not necessarily laid in the wall.You can choose to transfer the outlet open way, using the cable channel.Also in this case, more preferably, to use invoice product model that will allow for the transfer to another place not Stroebe concrete wall!This option is most often used to move beautifully outlet on the cabinet in the kitchen or on the balcony.

Method №2 - Lengthening wires

second way to move on their own outlet in the apartment - just extend the electrical line to a new Stroebe.In this case it is necessary to destroy the wall, but still the option is more correct than the first.

technology as follows:

1. off automatically switch the female group.
2. Voltage testers check the absence of current on the terminals.
3. Remove the decorative cover and pull housing Stroebe.
4. Stroebe a Punch create a new connection point.
5. lengthens the line bonding wires between a twisting or other means wiring.
6. In place of the old Stroebe set the junction box and laid it in the bonding place to live.
7. Set Escutcheon outlet and connect to the network.

That's how you can implement a simple transfer of power from the wall outlet shtroblenie on another wall, or even the floor (sometimes used and this version).Please note that you need to lengthen the wire cable of exactly the same section, and metal fabrication.If you do not know what the diameter of old lived, recommend that you read the instructions to determine the cable section.

can also be a simple situation - the socket you want to move closer to the junction box and wire do not have to build up and shorten.In this case, everything is easier - creating a new Stroebe, we shorten the line and carry out installation of the product.

main mistake that may allow electricians using this method - Connect elongated wire is laid in the old Stroebe Escutcheon and smeared alabaster.It is strictly forbidden to do, becauseIn this case, access to the connectors will be closed, even though they fail more often than the power supply portion integral!

method №3 - The conclusion of a new line

Well, the safest and most reliable method to transfer the electrical outlet - adding wires from the junction box.In this case, it will have to spend more time and effort, but, as we have said, it will be right!In addition, a new branch will allow wires to move the product, even at the opposite wall.

So, first you will need to turn off the electricity in the house, and then dismantling the old line with the outlet.Stroebe smeared with a solution and instead create a new, leading from one wall to another or even to another room through the wall (at your discretion).Then the cable is laid in the groove created, leading to a new podrozetnik where and connects to the core.

As you can see, nothing complicated, but the problem is that it is necessary to destroy the walls, which is not particularly logical renovated.Here we have listed all of the most popular methods.We hope that now you know how to move your hands and outlet!
