How to make stitches for wiring - instruction in pictures

Choosing a tool for

The first thing we'll do is talk about what can be done in the wall in the wall, considering the most suitable tools and the effectiveness of their use. The review will be provided from the most laborious method of strobing to a more convenient and quicker option.

Chisel and hammer

A grandfather's way to make a stunt under the electric wiring - knock it out with a chisel and a hammer. The advantage of this option is a complete lack of costs, becausein fact, you can penetrate the wall without an electric tool, using the handy tools that are in every house. Disadvantages - a great waste of time and effort, which is not entirely reasonable in the 21st century.

In addition, you will not be able to make a deepening under the cable in a brick with a chisel. From this option, we advise you to refuse, becausefurther will be listed the simpler and more effective ways of shtrobleniya walls for wiring in the house and apartment.

Drill + chisel

A more effective, but still uncomfortable way to create a stunt for wiring is drilling every 1-1.5 cm of holes along the width of the future groove. When the "spot" track is ready, as shown in the photo below, you can use the chisel to break the jumper between the holes, resulting in a not quite smooth, but still shtroba. The disadvantage of this option, again, is the time-consuming and low productivity of concrete stoning.

Bulgaria

Coming closer to convenient power tools that will allow you to quickly penetrate an even groove, the worst of the best options is an angle grinder( USM) or as it is commonly called a common people - Bulgarian. If you put a diamond disk on it, the process of shrouding the walls under the wire will become faster several times, besides, the contours of the groove will be perfectly even.

There are really many disadvantages to this option: there is a lot of dust in the room, one and the same groove can be made for two approaches( one cut first, then the other), the lack of the possibility to cut the track in the corner, the increased noise at work and, moreover, The depth of the stunt is the same over the entire length. The bottom line is to use the bulgark to penetrate the concrete wall only in the most extreme case.

The perforator

To make the groove itself by a perforator it is enough to choose a suitable attachment - a blade or special shtrober and pass along the marked lines in the shock mode. The disadvantage of using only a perforator - strokes will be crooked, but still at home, the type of power tool is most often used for strobing the walls with your own hands.

By the way, the perforator can not only just pass the walls with a shovel, but also work as a shock drill - first drill the holes along the marking, then use the spatula to knock out the partitions. Stroblenie on concrete turns out fast, convenient and thus grooves themselves are more or less even.

Stroke cutter

Well, the last, most effective option - the use of a special tool that allows you to smoothly and without dust do strobes for concrete. The shtruborez is really very convenient to use, it does not work so noisily and besides, thanks to the connection to the construction vacuum cleaner, it immediately absorbs all building dust. To date, the strobing of walls with this tool is the most effective, fast and safe. The only but significant drawback of this option is the very high cost of power tools, so it does not make sense to buy one-time repair in an apartment. You can get out of the situation in two ways: to take a shroud-cutter for rent( it will be inexpensive) or to make a shroud-cutting yourself. We recommend to stop on making a homemade instrument, especially if the bulgark is present, the process will not take more than half an hour.

Summing up the

So, among all the tools listed for stoking the walls under the wiring with your own hands, we recommend to stop in one of two ways:

1. Use a shroud( even if homemade).
2. Combination of Bulgarian + puncher.

On the last variant we will stop a little. The fact is that if you cut through the boundaries of the strobes with a grinding machine, after which the perforator knock out the core from the inside, you will get a quick and effective creation of the slab in the concrete and brick walls. At home, this option is used very often, so if there is no possibility to make a shtoborez, stop on this particular option!

I would like to depart a little from the topic and talk about how to properly say: a penalty or stroba. The fact is that indeed the term in construction is properly termed a penalty, but for some unknown reason, a slightly modified pronunciation has been fixed for a long time in conversation. On the technical side, both versions of the word mean the same, so do not be surprised if we continue to use both pronunciations in the article!

Requirements for the operation of the

Before proceeding to the cutting of walls, it is necessary to take into account the following norms and requirements in accordance with SNiP 3.05.06-85 and the recommendations of experienced electricians:

• The track must pass strictly vertically and horizontally,no oblique lines should not be.
  

  Incorrect electrical wiring

• It is allowed to rotate the track from one "electrical point" to another one time( for example, from the junction box to the socket).The more bends, the more dangerous areas of cable laying, becauseIn the place of bending, the conductor will heat up more strongly.
• The maximum permissible depth of the groove is 26 mm, width - 30 mm, length - no more than 3 meters( meaning from the box spreader).
• Leave from heating batteries and gas pipes at least 40 cm, from the door - 10 cm, and from the ceiling or floor, at least 5 cm( but better also 10).
• In the panel house it is forbidden to make grooves under the cable in the bearing walls. Stemble a reinforced concrete partition is strictly forbidden, becausethis may entail a weakening of the structure, the appearance of cracks and further adverse effects. If there was an urgent need to make a groove in reinforced concrete, it should be shallow and the reinforcement mesh should not be damaged in any way.
• If you need to conduct a wiring on the floor in a panel house, it is strictly forbidden to make a slab in the slab. The only way out of the situation is to pour concrete screed and to provide in it a recess for wires. As for the ceiling, its stonecutting is allowed only by the shortest path to the luminaire.
• If you want to make a stroba in an inclined ceiling, for example, an attic, the line must run parallel to the joint of the surfaces.

Taking into account all these norms and requirements, you can correctly make a strobe for wiring, so that the latter is safe, durable and easy to maintain. Next, we'll talk about how to make the walling the most popular tool - shtroborez, providing step by step instructions in the pictures!

How to properly make grooves?

So, for the instruction to be understandable even for electric kettles, we provide a step-by-step technology that will quickly and correctly penetrate the walls for wiring in the house and apartment:

1. We protect the rest of the room from dust. To do this, all the doorways need to hang from the inside of the working area a damp cloth, which will completely cover the entire opening. Do not rely on closed doors - through the gaps on all sides, dust can easily pass through the entire apartment.
2. We clean the surface on the ceiling and walls from the pieces of wallpaper, tk.even small pieces of paper can block the movement of the discs and prevent the normal operation of the shroud.
3. We transfer the wiring diagram in the house to the walls, using the marker and the building level. By the way, you can make a laser level with your own hands, which will allow you to quickly and accurately mark out horizontal lines for strobilenie.
4. If you are replacing the wiring in the house, additionally you need to make sure that the old wiring does not pass under the marking anymore. If you, when you wall the wall, stumble on the wire under tension, an electric shock can not be avoided, let alone a short circuit. To find the wire in the wall, you can use a homemade metal detector or a special cable tester. In the event that you came across an old wiring, it must either be dismantled, or isolated and circumvented, retreating at least 10 centimeters to one side.
5. After this, it is necessary to patch the wall under the wiring according to the layout. This is not difficult, which is confirmed by the video provided above. As for the strob under the installation of the distribution of boxes and sockets, it is better to make them with a drill with a special attachment - a crown of suitable diameter( usually 80 and 65 mm).
6. When the entire network of grooves is patched, we recommend to capture the picture on the camera so that you can easily find the fault location, focusing not only on the wiring diagram, but also on the photo.

This is the end of the stoking of the walls under the wiring. All that is left for you is to clean the fine and fix the cable in it with a dowel-clamp, gypsum plaster or alabaster. About this, we discussed in detail in the article: how to correctly make electrical wiring in the house. We draw your attention to the fact that it is necessary to shroud the walls before the plaster, and not after, in order to plaster the entire route in one fell swoop by preparing the surface for wallpapering or tiling.

If the provided instructions seem complicated, you can always call a master so that he not only has patched the entire network of grooves, but he has also disconnected the wiring. However, immediately consider that such a pleasure will not be very cheap. To date, the cost of slaughtering 1 meter of the route can be from 100 to 500 rubles, depending on the material of the walls. In addition, the penalty for each outlet, switch and junction box will cost you 300 rubles per point. As you can see, the prices are not very cheap, and if you bring down the amount for the whole house, a fairly high price will come out, so it's better to try to do the strobing yourself.

Please note

The above instructions are suitable if you want to make a stroba in a monolithic or brick house with the appropriate walls. However, to date, gas-concrete, wooden and plasterboard partitions can be built inside the housing. About how to pick one of the non-standard variants of walls, we'll talk further.

When installing wiring in a sauna or a wooden house, you will encounter walls from logs or profiled beams. Do strokes in the tree can not be security rules, and this is not advisable, becauseit is necessary not to trowel the log, but saw in it special depressions. Such an occupation will be very difficult and will take a lot of time, so in the case of wooden walls, the installation of an open wiring is used. If you need to lay the cable in a wooden floor, stroblenie here, again, it is impossible, so you need to provide an option for laying under the boards for the DC, heater and other layers of the pie. The main thing is that the installation should be safe and comply with the rules of the EE.

In the walls of gypsum plasterboard, it is also impossible to shake the horizontal and vertical tracks, becausethe Glyc sheet is very thin and brittle. The cable simply fits behind the gypsum board in the corrugation, between the profiles. The only thing you can do in the gypsum cardboard is to cut through the holes for the sockets and switches of light, as shown in the photo:

If you need to make a stroba in the tile floor( for example, in the bathroom or in the kitchen), there should not be any complications,it will be most convenient to use a Bulgarian or shtroborez. Do not trowel the tile with a perforator;You only damage the material - the tiles will crack, after which you will have to completely change the floor covering. Do not forget that when working with stone and tile you need to install a diamond disk, which is designed to work with such material.

Well, the last popular material is aerated concrete. It is possible to make a stroba in aerated concrete with a special manual shtroborez, the cost of which does not exceed 1000 rubles( and this is the model from the manufacturer).Using this tool is quite simple, as you can see by watching the video tutorial below.

That's all I wanted to tell you about what it is - the strobing of walls for wiring, and how to patch the route under the cable with your own hands. We hope that this information was interesting and useful for you!
