How are installed podozetniki on concrete in the wall

A floor plate is a special fixture mounted inside the wall and used to install a switch or socket in it. If the installation was completed correctly, the interior of the room will be changed or repairs will be carried out without any problems with replacing the old electrical connectors with new ones.

They can be quickly removed at the time of the repair work, and at the end of the process also quickly installed. Installation is preceded by simple preparatory activities and the purchase of reliable supplies. Further in the article we will look at how to install the sub-wall into the concrete wall correctly.

Types of podrozetnikov

В зависимости от материала, из которого построена стена, подрозетники могут быть для бетона и для гипсокартона. Те, что предназначены для монтажа в первом случае, могут сочетаться также с кирпичом, пенобетоном, газобетоном и другими схожими материалами. Installation подрозетника в таком случае производится в подготовленное заранее отверстие с последующим закреплением в нем при помощи гипсового раствора (читайте также статью «Анкерные болты по бетону – разновидности и принцип устройства»).

If it is intended for drywall, chipboard, plywood and similar materials will also be a good basis for installation. This type of fixture has auxiliary legs.

Installation stages

Training

The installation instructions require that preparatory work be carried out, which consists in evaluating the type, material and thickness of the wall or partition wall where it is planned to install the device. Different manufacturers offer many types of sub-floorboards that meet the requirements of the various operational conditions of the premises.

To make the right choice, you need to familiarize yourself with their basic parameters:

1. The dimensions of podozetnikov for concrete may differ in the size of the diameter and the depth of the glass. The standard diameter of the subcontractor for concrete is 67 mm, and the length is 25 mm, but there may be other proportions.
2. The best material for the manufacture of high-strength polypropylene is considered today.
3. The shape is round, oval, rectangular or square, but round are more in demand.. Usually their price is very low.

Remember that a prerequisite for podrozetnikov on drywall is the presence of auxiliary legs. They are not available for installation in concrete. When installing multiple podozetnikov with combining them into one unit, you need to maintain the correct center distance.

When mounting is performed on a block system, be sure to take fixtures of the same diameter. Each of them is equipped with grooves for fastening. Installation of a group of podrozetnikov produced in the same way as the installation of a single.

Installation

To perform the work requires the presence of:

• construction pencil (can be replaced with clerical);
• rulers;
• construction and medical plaster, alabaster;
• spatula;
• electric impact drills;
• victor drill;
• zubila;
• level (construction or water);
• hammer;
• Bulgarians (with canvas for concrete);
• knife for paper.

A diamond crown is also required for podozetniki concrete, the diameter of which should be slightly more accessories.

Preliminary stage

Using a pencil and a ruler, mark the place for installation by drawing two intersecting perpendicular lines. If the flooring has not yet been completed, it is necessary to take into account its future thickness and add a few centimeters to the height of the future outlet (switch).

There are basic rules that electricians follow when marking:

• if the socket in the room, it must be placed at a height of 30 cm from the finished (covered) floor;
• in the kitchen it is placed above the worktop, namely at a height of 110-120 cm;
• from the washing machine the socket must be removed at a distance of 1 m;
• the switch is placed 90 cm above the covered floor.

  Tip: if your plans require a different one, you can move away from these options and place switches and sockets as you need. In addition, a puncher or grinder is not necessary to buy, if you do not have them, just rent the necessary tool.

To find out which height of the switch will be the most convenient, just stand near the wall and mark the point where the palm of your free-down arm is located. If you want to take into account the growth characteristics of all possible users, find the average height value.

Drilling

To perform the hole, you can use one of three known methods:

1. Take a puncher (or a drill) and place a crown on it on the concrete, the diameter of which exceeds slightly the diameter of the floor socket. The depth of the crown should be greater than the analogous parameter of the device (approximately 4-5 mm). Align the center of the crown and the marks on the wall, drill holes in the concrete. Having achieved complete crown care in the wall, stop the process, pull out the crown, and align the bottom of the hole with a hammer and chisel.

1. Attach a bottom plate to the mark on the wall, align their centers and trace it around the contour. Drill holes along the entire circumference, preferably in large quantities, making it easier to make a notch. For these works, use a drill and a pozavitovoe drill. The condition of the depth is the same: 4-5 mm more than the depth of the mounted underside. Using a hammer and chisel, adjust the hole to the desired result.
2. Attach a bottom plate to the wall, aligning the centers (his and marks) and mark the boundaries of its circumference on the working surface, constructing a square around it. Be sure to keep the sides of the square touching the borders of the circle. Take a grinder, place a disk on it over the concrete and cut a square according to the drawn lines. Hammer and chisel will help eliminate irregularities, bring the hole to the desired form and meet the condition of the difference between the depths of the niche and the underside of 4-5 mm.

Tip: regardless of the method of making the excavation, take care of the safety of the work and move the electrical wire aside for some distance.

Inspection and cleaning

Attach the bottom to the hole. If you can do it effortlessly 4-5 mm below the edge of the recess, you can proceed to the supply of electrical wire, for which you need to gouge out the strobe (find out here what a concrete hardening accelerator is).

At the location of the special stencils of the holes for the wire, use the construction knife to cut the required through hole. Then remove all trash from the recess.

Completion of work

Now it is time to learn how to fix the floor in concrete:

1. Prepare a solution of medical and construction plaster, alabaster and water, which are taken in the right proportions. Mix well until lumps disappear and uniform. It is important not to delay the transition to the next step, because the solution dries out within a few minutes.

1. Dampen the hole with water, cover with a layer of the prepared mixture. Insert the wire into the podrozetnik, and fix the “box” itself in the hole so that there is a distance of 2-3 mm from its edge to the wall surface.
2. With the help of the construction level, check the horizontal position of the screws of the socket relative to the floor surface. Cover the remaining voids with a solution to remove excess material.

As a result of the manipulations, a flat wall is obtained with a hole prepared for inserting an outlet or switch, the assembly / disassembly of which can now be easily performed many times.

Conclusion

Из статьи стало понятным, как сделать подрозетник в бетонной стене своими руками разными способами. Без использования инструментов данное занятие будет достаточно трудоемким, поэтому позаботьтесь об их наличии. Во время работ соблюдайте правила техники безопасности (см.также статью «Бетонолом: как на этом инструменте можно заработать, как его выбрать и на что обращать внимание при покупке»).
