Installation of electrical outlets in the Enclosures for plasterboard

Preparatory work for installation of sockets in drywall

drywall constructions, so popular among professional builders gradually accustom handyman.The reasons are the same: rapid installation not only of the panels, but also the possibility distributing utilities in the cavities.Wiring in this row is not the last place, the wires are hidden and the installation of sockets in drywall (network terminals) is relatively easy if you follow some rules.

Skinning of walls of this material allows you to make almost any hidden wiring wiring diagram, however, this should be done at the design stage.Then it will be too late to change outs for the equipment in plasterboard cover or attempt to disassemble the sheets (hopeless task).Therefore, in the first stage.

• Determine the place of installation outlets in plasterboard and summing them to the wire with all the technical requirements of these devices.
• Choosing Enclosures for plasterboard according to two criteria.Material: preferably non-flammable or self-extinguishing plastic.Dimensions depth (standard 45-50 mm may not be appropriate if the distance to the wall is less than the capital) and diameter.
• Prepare the place where will be fixing in plasterboard wall outlet.There are several options.1. Additional primer (in fact, the impregnation of the sheet) in the place of installation of sockets and switches in the drywall;2. Putty walls prior to electrical works, iethe ability to work to strengthen the surface.

Escutcheon To install plasterboard

Enclosures for drywall installation is different from the concrete boxes presence clamps (feet), allowing to press it tightly to the web by the hollow space but at the same time in the installation process much easier.Wall, we have already prepared, the installation location and size defined, then you can start.Some remarks.

1. hole in drywall to install sockets easiest way to make an electric drill with a special nozzle - the crown of the desired diameter.Device expensive, but in the case of complete electrical wiring exits: numerous switches, lights, sockets makes sense to buy it in a set of 50-80 mm.
2. For a small number of mounting boxes, you can use a simple drill, hacksaw and a knife for drywall.The result will not be as fast and accurate, but at a certain skill you can handle.
3. Enclosures for plasterboard are of two types: with sliding and protracted stops.The second option is preferable because it allows you to adjust the tension of the back using screws.

himself porozetnika mounting process for mounting sockets in drywall is simple:

• drilled hole in a sheet of drywall required diameter (under Escutcheon) with the crown;
• outputting wire through the hole of the electrical system;
• shpatlyuem sections and fit place to strengthen the nest;
• remove the plugs for the output wires with Escutcheon;
• set it in place, prodergivaya wire;
• tighten foot box staff screws up to the stop (in a sliding embodiment of the pull to stop the tape and to bite off too much);

socket electrical outlet in the drywall is ready, there was only setting.

Connecting

output device No special intricacies are not, if you've ever changed this equipment in concrete ducts, connect the terminal block to the need to leave, you will be able to.In any case, we give the sequence of actions:

• outlet must be disassembled by removing the plastic lining;
• screws to loosen kllemmnoy part and insert two terminals (three ground) wire;
• secure socket in podrozetnik plasterboard and secure with the thrust (or set screws);
• fix laths.
