A wide range of electrical structures, from switches and sockets to sensors and switches, can easily be mounted on the GCR, if you use an additional and important element -
"Glass" for gypsum board differs from others in the presence of special fasteners installedOn the screws. These fasteners are attached to the inner side of the wall. Only in this way can the glass be fixed securely, not with the putty solution, or with cement.
There are times when it is necessary to mount a row of 2 or 3 podrozetnik. In this case, you need to select "glasses" with connecting tunnels, through which the wire will be laid. In the case that you need to install only one juniper, these connections can be cut, since they can interfere with installation in the groove in the plasterboard. There is also a second option - you can purchase special connecting elements. These partitions are installed in the glasses immediately before they are mounted in the wall.

- Determine with the installation depth of the "glass".Standard podrozetnik has a depression of 50 mm, but in the market of building materials you can find a "glass" under the GKL depth from 45 to 73 mm.
- If it is necessary to install block sub-boxes, choose the type of construction you need - with connections or with removable connectors.

In the event that there is no drill or you can not buy a crown, you can make a hole with a conventional knife or a drill.
- The main thing is to cut out the hole for the jar. The capsule should sit tightly in the carved hole.
- The distance between the GCR and the native wall must be not less than 50 mm, otherwise the spade-box will not fit.
