How to stroke the walls for wiring and sockets

Carrying out repair work in any room, as a rule, does not do without replacing the old electric wire or installation of a new wiring. Often there is a need to install additional branching of sockets for connecting household appliances in the required place of the room. Each person will be qualitatively touched under the wire, so it is not necessary to seek qualified help to construction teams or private electricians.

Requirements for the process

Before stroke the walls, it is necessary to carefully prepare for the process. Initially, it is worth applying on paper a wiring scheme and think about the practicality and correct location of each exit of the wiring: electrical switches, outlets, points for lighting equipment, etc. The main aspects, which need to be paid attention to during the stroke, are the following:

• the work process should be carried out in a parallel direction to the main construct of the building - only horizontally or strictly vertically. An inclined cutting is sometimes allowed, but if the wall goes at an angle as, for example, on the attic;
• it is not allowed to make one channel with more than 3 meters long;
• learning by standards whether it is possible to post the walls in the apartment , it is important to adhere to the requirements of the depth of the furrow, which can be no more than 25 mm;
• vertical stroke should take place at least 100 mm from the openings of windows and entrance doors, and at least 400 mm from the gas pipe;
• the horizontal groove can be made 150 mm from the joints of the slabs and ceilings;
• the number of turns from the outlet to the camshaft is advisable to minimize. The best option is to make one angle of transition from the horizontal plane to the vertical, excluding curvature at the joints of the walls;
• it is forbidden to make horizontal slots in the supporting walls. In typical panel houses, this rule applies to all surfaces, with the exception of narrow partitions. Therefore, the layout layout should be carried out taking into account this requirement.

Tooling tools

Before starting work, you need to clearly know how to stroke the top and which tool is most profitable to use. Consider all options in more detail:

1. A chisel and a hammer - this set has been used long ago and today it is inferior to construction tools in the quality of the result, practicality and time. However, it wins the price factor.
2. A shock drill or a perforator - such devices can be done very quickly and as clean as possible, but the furrow is not enough even.
3. The Bulgarian is the most common tool that allows you to get an even channel, however, a lot of dust is formed in the air, which is difficult to eliminate even by a construction vacuum cleaner.
4. Stroborese is a specialized device with which you can make a perfectly even slot with the required depth and width. The only drawback of such a tool is its high cost.

Preparation of the surface for troop

In order to probably know how to properly stroke for electric wiring, it is important to study the requirements for preparing the surface for work. To do this, you should adhere to the following recommendations:

1. The priority task before the start of stroke is a check of the wall for the presence of hidden wiring in the place where the furrow route will presumably run. To do this, use special equipment, which will indicate a laying wiring.   Important! When checking, it is necessary to secure yourself, as wires with connected voltage may come across.

2. Then, marking on the route of a new furrow from the place of installation of the outlet to the camshaft should be put on the route.
3. Be sure to curtain door and window openings with a damp cloth before starting work on the tape. This will avoid the spread of dust particles around the perimeter of the room.

Stroke instructions

You can perform the wall cutting process using several tools, each of which has its own disadvantages and advantages. Their choice depends on the requirements for the result and practicality of the use of devices, as well as the features of a particular surface for making a furrow. Let us consider in detail the process of stroke of the wall with different tools.

Making a furrow with a perforator

The process of strokes with a perforator looks like this:

1. Prepare 2 nozzles with short and wide drill, as well as a spatula.
2. Then make holes at a distance of 15 mm from each other along the route marking line. The depth of each is approximately 25 mm.
3. Do a groove with a spatula. At the same time, it is important not to put the nozzle across the string line, since this may lead to a breakdown of an extra fragment of the wall.
4. After completing the work, eliminate the dust using a construction vacuum cleaner.

A visual guide on how to properly stroke the wall is presented below:

Stroke with a hammer and a chisel

In order to make a furrow with a chisel and a hammer, you must adhere to the following sequence of actions:

1. Initially, the depressions in those places where the chtrob will begin and end with a chisel of recesses in those places.
2. Then you can start stroke the selected surface segment under the outlet. To do this, put the chisel across the canal and knock out a fragment of the wall in the depths.
3. After that, continue the process of removing the material along the furrow route.
4. In the trace for this, proceed to the recess of the channel by 25 mm, carrying out work along the entire length of the line.

Tribal of a grinder

To carry out work on cutting the wall by a grinder, it is initially necessary to purchase a special diamond disk - this is allowed to achieve the desired result with minimal errors and efforts. The process of stroke itself looks like this:

1. Initially, you should do 2 tiles along the route of the furrow, which will go parallel to each other. The distance between them should be equal to the required channel width.
2. Moving along the intended line, select the unnecessary material between the fleshs made, reaching the necessary depth of the channel.
3. Since a lot of dust spreads when working with a grinder in the room, it is necessary to prepare an industrial vacuum cleaner in advance.
4. For work, the help of another person will be required who can keep the absorption pipe as close as possible to the place of stroke.

The process of strokes of the wall using a grinder can be seen on the video clip:

Work with a strobe

This instrument is an improved type of grinder, since the barbarm provides fastening of diamond cutting nozzles, the distance between which can be set independently. Such circles are protected by a special casing, necessary to fully close the contact place of the tool with the surface. Also, the tool is equipped with a withdrawal for fastening the suction tube of the vacuum cleaner. It is possible to control the depth and width of the furrow made thanks to the adjustment of the casing. Otherwise, the work on cutting the wall is carried out according to the similar principle of stroke with a grinder. The detailed guide for the wall of the wall is shown on the video clip:
