The final stage of any major repairs is the installation of new electrical appliances in the kitchen, as well as outlets and switches in the walls. In any case, buying an apartment you must certainly inspect the sockets and switches, and if necessary replace them. Today we will consider the correct installation of sockets and switches in the concrete walls of the apartment or house.
As you know, sockets and switches are for indoor or outdoor installation, depending on the wiring. By the way, it is possible to meet external wiring except in the village, and if you still have this type of wiring, it is worthwhile to seriously consider replacing it with an internal one on issues of safety first and, later on, aesthetic appearance. So, in the concrete wall we will install the sockets of the latent installation, for which we will need:
- a perforator with a crown( if there are no crowns, it will be necessary to drill a contour with a drill or drill).
- socket( plastic, concealed installation)
- socket as standard
To begin with, outline the outline of the future outlet and circle it with a pencil or marker. Then drill a hole with a crown with a winning bit - a niche for the installation of a juniper. Chest - a kind of building of the future outlet, built into the concrete wall. So, in the finished niche we insert the junket - it should freely enter the hole, and we remove the plastic plug from the side where the wiring passes.
Next, you need to break the channel for wiring, and conduct the wire in the sub-socket making sure that it passes freely and its length is enough for mounting the outlet. The sinker itself is leveled on the wall with the help of a level - it should not stick out, but also fall inside too. Having strengthened the receptacle, we seal the joints between it and the wall with an alabaster or gypsum mixture - these mixtures harden quite quickly. Having prepared a "socket" for the socket in this way, it is already possible to mount it inside the receptacle by unscrewing the appropriate terminals and fixing the wires in them.
The final stage of installation will be screwing the bolts around the edges of the socket( or switch, the installation principle will be the same) in order to fix the entire structure in the jar. Then we put on the body and screw the bolt in the middle - everything, the work is finished.
