Installation of hidden wiring

modern house or apartment is difficult to imagine without electricity.That is why the wiring - an important part of the construction work.Wiring itself can be overt or covert.Since the first option is less aesthetic, the second one is more popular.Following the instructions below, you will be able to carry out installation of hidden wiring yourself.

Tools and safety

to work need the following tools:

• corrugated tube (necessary for the protection of cable, as well as for its rapid replacement or repair).
• electrical cable.
• junction boxes.
• Roulette.
• quick-drying putty or plaster.
• recessed sockets and switches (if necessary).
• level (for the exact location marking wires).
• Rule.
• Angle machine ( "Bulgarian") with diamond disc or wall chaser.
• Drill or punch with a coring drill (to create holes for the outlet).
• Hammer.
• mason chisel.
• chisel.
• brush.
• plastic tray (for kneading putty).
• Trowel tool.
• Trowel bricklayer.
• Nippers wire stripper.
• screwdriver.
• Indicator screwdriver or multimeter.

Also, do not forget about safety.Necessary equipment will be:

• goggles (to be protected from stone chips and dust);
• respirator (work is dusty, take care of the protection of the respiratory tract);
• rubber or rubber gloves (protection against electric shock).

Before you get started, make sure that the room in which the work will be carried out, de-energized.This can be done by using a multimeter or a screwdriver indicator.

Wiring concealed wiring in

Shtrobirovanie apartment can only be performed in the horizontal and vertical plane, but in any case, not diagonally.

If the partition in which the planned installation of electrical wiring and sockets has a thickness of less than 10 cm, the vertical Stroebe not be placed closer than 20 cm from both angles, not more than 1.20 m from the floor and not less than 80 cm from the ceiling.

distance between the two cutting grooves on one wall should be at least 1.5 m.

choosing corrugated consider the fact that its thickness should be greater than the thickness of the cable.After installing the cable in the tube should be at least 2/3 of the free space.

Step by Step Layout

Using a pencil, apply the desired location on the wall sockets, switches, junction boxes and wiring runs.Use a level to create a precise vertical and horizontal lines.

drilling using a drill or punch with a coring drill, perform deepening under the sockets, switches and junction boxes.

Shtrobirovanie

Route Stroebe between the grooves made with the help of wall chaser or angle grinders machine ( "Bulgarian").Grooves should be done with a small margin (4-5 mm larger than the thickness of the corrugated pipe), so that after laying the cable, and it was convenient to putty.Make a well in using chisels or gouges mason, and then remove the dust from the grooves with a brush or vacuum cleaner construction.

Installation

wiring After preparing grooves, lay in his pipe with a cable, then proceed with the installation of junction boxes.Before installation, remove the cover of junction box to be able to insert the tube.In order to hold and it does not fall out during assembly, apply a little putty in the groove and insert box.Wait a few minutes until the plaster hardens slightly.After mounting box mount and secure the tube with nails driven into a corner.

spackling

After installation, you can begin spackling.After the application of putty it is necessary to remove the excess with a trowel, gently pressing down on the edges.

Connecting

final stage.Strip the wires using wire cutters and connect them to the sockets and switches, and then install them in the box.
