Instruction in pictures on the installation of a wall pad into the wall

What should I look for before installing?

Before you decide to install the product in the wall, it is necessary to choose the type of juniper correctly. To date, the following varieties of so-called sockets for sockets and switches are on sale:

• Plastic, without clamping legs. Used to install the housing in a concrete and brick wall.
• Plastic with presser feet. Allows you to quickly install a jar in the wall of plasterboard and plastic panels.
• Metal( with bottom / without bottom).Previously, they were used in the installation of electrical wiring in panel houses of the old type. For today can be applied in the event that it is necessary to conduct wiring in a wooden house in a hidden way( it is very rare to find such an option).According to the rules of the electric grid, it is possible to install sockets and switches in the tree only if the mantle is metal, so this version of the glass is not removed from production.

Having chosen the appropriate version of the product, you can proceed to the preparatory work, which we will now talk about!

Preparing for the frame

So, in order to install the sub-socket yourself, you must first prepare the following set of materials and tools:

1. Rotary hammer or electric drill;
2. Crown for gypsum, brick or concrete( depending on which wall will be shrouded) or a winning drill bit;
3. Construction level;
4. Marker;
5. Spatula and gypsum putty( if plasterboard or wood, then do not need it);
6. Chisel and hammer.

Having prepared all the materials, you can proceed to install the wall cover in the wall. Now we will briefly consider how to insert and fix the glass under the outlet in each of the existing wall variants.

Mounting techniques

In concrete and bricks

If you need to install a subgrid in a concrete or brick wall, then you need to proceed as follows:

1. Make a markup on the surface using a building level and a marker in accordance with the wiring diagram in the house. The height of the installation of the outlets can be chosen at their own discretion, the norms of SNiP and GOST are not specified at the moment. All you need is to put a cross in the right place( the center of the future hole), lean it against the center and circle it with a marker.
2. Using a perforator and a suitable bit, drill the barrel 4-5 mm deeper than the height of the glass you are going to install. If there is no special cutter at hand, simply drill a group of holes in a drill with a winning drill in a circle and knock out the core with a chisel and a hammer. Another way is to carefully make a square hole with a Bulgarian with a diamond disc.
3. When you are able to make a round neck, clean it from the inside, then try on the padding so that it goes well into the seat and thereafter there are no difficulties with the installation. Immediately cut a hole in it for the input of the wire and wind the wires inside.
4. Dilute the mortar in order to spread the jar in a concrete or brick wall. A good solution can be obtained from gypsum plaster, alabaster and water.
5. Moisten the hole and trowel the solution inside the spatula as shown in the photo. After that, carefully fix the glass flush with the wall, while the screws on the sides are located strictly parallel to the floor( otherwise the outlet can not be installed exactly).
6. Cover the edges and remove the excess solution so that the glass is clean and ready for further electrical work after the putty has seized.

In such a simple way, you can install the wall socket yourself in a brick, concrete, foam block or even aerated concrete. Be sure to review the video instructions provided below to see visually the entire essence of the installation.

monolith. In the

drywall. It is much easier to fasten the sub-sheet in the plasterboard partition. Here it is no longer necessary to dilute the solution and knock out the core of the strobes with a chisel. As we said earlier, there is a special glass with presser paws, which easily fix the podrozetnik in the drywall. In order to install the glass in a gypsum wall, you need to do the following:

1. Apply the marking on the surface in the same way as the previous technology. In detail, the layout of the plasterboard wall was examined when we talked about how to install a rosette in a drywall.
2. Cut a hole under the wires in the bottom and insert the product inside the shrouds.
3. Tighten the screws on the sides until the box snaps securely inside.

That's all you need to do to install the junket in the gypsum board wall with your own hands. As you can see, everything is very simple and even a beginner in the electrician will be able to install the product. We draw your attention to the fact that if the gypsum wall is additionally faced with tiles, you need to act a little differently. The video below shows the technology of attaching a glass under a ceramic tile.

In the tree

Well, the last of the mounting options is in a wooden wall. If you decide to conduct a hidden wiring in a wooden house, which is very strange and unsafe, you will need to make the stitneys in the tree for the installation of metal podrozetnikov.

In this case, you can use a special crown on the wood and chisel, but we still strongly recommend to install the open wiring, becausein this case, it would not be necessary to gut the wooden walls or the lining.

Practical advice for

We have listed all the existing ways of installing the wall pad into the wall with our own hands. Finally I would like to give some useful tips that will allow faster and more accurate mounting of glasses in the strobas.

1. If you have walls covered with PVC panels( for example, in the bathroom), buy a piece of wood under the gypsum board and perform the installation in the same way as the fastening technology in GKL sheets. In order not to accidentally pull out the socket from the plastic panel while pulling out the electrical plug, it is recommended to make a reinforcing frame from plywood or the same gypsum behind the plastic.
2. Install products after plastering the walls. If you first install the glass in the stroba, and then plaster the walls, you may not be able to install the outlet flush in the future. It is better to be safe and not to install, while the walls are unplastered. At the same time, putting the drowette after the wallpaper is already pasted is also not the most successful solution, becausewill have to break the decorative finish of the walls, which can spoil the interior of the room. That is why the golden mean is the installation of the product immediately after the plaster, becausein the extreme case, the finish putty and wallpaper can close all the defects.
3. Check the horizontal leveling of the markup with the construction level, especially if you decide to install a block of sprues( 3-4 sockets).Otherwise, after you secure the connected glasses in the wall, you can get an oblique block that will be negatively reflected in the interior of the room( the double socket will be a curve).The video instructions for installing the glasses in the brick wall( at the very beginning of the article) show a very convenient technology of marking and shtrobleniya, which will make the seats for the sockets and switches perfectly even.
4. If you have a situation when you need to install a jar in the through hole( for example, in the apartment) or in a too large hole, simply apply more alabaster and, using the usual technique, smash the glass in the wall. You can also use a spacer made of wooden blocks to pre-fix the plastic cup. Use a mounting foam for fixing - a controversial issue. On the one hand, the rules of the EAE are not forbidden to use this material, but on the other hand, the foam will not satisfy the fire safety conditions, so it is better to use alabaster.
5. When replacing the electrical wiring in the house, you can of course leave the old holes for the sub-grid if you are satisfied with the height of the installation of the built-in sockets and switches. Otherwise, you can always cover old holes and make new ones where it will be more in demand.
6. If the wall is too thin for fixing a standard beaker, it is better to install an overhead switch or an outlet. You can, of course, slightly cut the height of the juniper and make it suitable, but this is only in extreme cases.

That's all I wanted to tell you about how to install podrozetniki in a concrete, brick, wooden and gypsum board wall. We hope that the information provided, photo examples and video tutorials were useful and understandable for you!
