Using drywall in building walls,room partitions or other purposes during the repair, very often there is a need to conduct electrical wiring in order to power the spotlights, chandeliers, make sockets and switches. At first glance, such frauds may seem rather complicated, however, even a novice builder or self-taught person should not have any problems, the main thing is to know how and what to do.
So how do you install the backups fordrywall? It is this question that is one of the most common during repairs, and we will now answer it, at the same time describing all the subtleties and possible difficulties of this process.
So, the drywall floorboard, of course,somewhat different from those used in the installation of electricians in concrete or brick. Their main difference is the fact that no use of concrete and other means for reliable fixation and embedding of the floor plate is required. The walls of plasterboard are hollow or, as they say, hollow.
Thus, choosing a sub-view underdrywall, you must first pay attention to what material it is made of. The most common and cheapest option is plain plastic, but wiring using such tools is considered unsafe, and for good reason. The best choice of each is a self-extinguishing plastic under the hood. Such a device during a short circuit or fire wiring does not begin to melt and ignite with the speed that ordinary plastic.
On the contrary, the burning process will be in every possible way.pause, ottyvatsya and even if the problem is serious, the owner will have time to respond to the strange smell that appeared in the room before the irreparable happens. In addition, drywall is also a flammable material, and a reasonable choice of a subcontinent can help you greatly.
Plasterboard dimensions also havedifferent, so that once you have decided on the material, you can make measurements. Here attention must be paid to the parameter of free space under the sheet of drywall, that is, the cavity of the wall itself. The standard for podrozetnikov is a distance of over 50 millimeters, that is, the plinth board itself usually has a depth of 45-50 mm. For accurate measurement you just need to take into account the thickness of the drywall sheet and the distance from its surface to the inner wall. Such calculations are carried out using the most ordinary roulette, and with the obtained results you should go to the market or to the hardware store, where you will find the details of the required configuration.
As for all other measurements and characteristics,then they are repelled by the outlet you have chosen or the light switch, so there is surely nothing to say, it is better to also take the part you bought and come with it to a specialized store.
As with most construction works in whichdrywall is featured, before the installation of podrozetnikov in drywall will be started, some manipulations with the wall itself should be carried out. To do this, first of all you need a putty and a special type of primer that is capable of impregnating the gypsum sheet.
So, all ongoing actions will fit into several points:
As soon as the preparatory work in the formwall treatments and markings are finished, it's time to start drilling holes. For this, the best way out would be to have a special nozzle on a drill, with the help of which you can easily drill a hole of the required diameter, but if you don’t have any of these devices, it will be enough to get an ordinary drill of large diameter and have a mounting knife on hand. With such simple tools, you can easily install flush-mounted podrozetniki, the main thing in this matter to remember is that the hole must be of a strictly defined diameter and the element of the outlet must fit right in, only this way you can achieve proper fixation and safety.
Now that everything is ready and the holes have been drilled, let us take a few words about how to install the socket into the drywall and pay attention to some of its design features.
The fact is that on every detail of this typeThere are 4 bolts. Two of them are responsible directly for the fixation of the outlet you have purchased, and the other two are responsible for the rigidity of fixation of the underside. At the moment, we need exactly the last two bolts.
To properly mount the box,It is necessary to push it into the prepared hole with a simple but careful movement and begin to tighten the two above-mentioned bolts with a cross-head screwdriver. Their mechanism is designed in such a way that, in the depths, special hinges (pads) are attached to them, which, at the moment of twisting, begin to move along the thread to the side of the socket, thereby pressing it against the sheet of drywall, ensuring tight fixation. Such hinges are both metal and plastic, but this moment does not affect the fixing strength.
Кстати, перед тем как установка подрозетников в the drywall will be finished and you will twist both the bolts, securing the socket, do not forget to push the wire into it, which will provide power to the outlet or switch.
