How to do the wiring for plasterboard

Drywall - an excellent building material and it is simply irreplaceable when you need to quickly and relatively inexpensively to align the walls in the room. Just under the drywall just wonderful masked wiring. But how to do it properly and you will learn from this article.

Options for laying cables under the plasterboard

There are several options for laying cables on plasterboard.

The most common one is the cabling in corrugated pipes, as fastening to the walls of the corrugations is extremely simple and rapid.

But just as there is the option of using copper tubing or metal boxes, but these options are rarely applied in everyday life. Therefore, we consider wiring it with corrugated pipes.

We carry out training

Before you begin to lay the wiring, it is necessary to collect on the walls of the profile structure, but do not rush to fix the GCR.

Next, determine exactly where they will be placed boxes: directly on the wall or on the ceiling. In the case of the ceiling type Armstrong, or the usual attachments, it is better to hide the boxes exactly on the ceiling.

If you decide to keep the wiring on the walls, the boxes should be placed on a height of 15 - 20 cm from the ceiling.

Further, a detailed layout of all outlets and switches in the room, and then can be transferred for clarity in the drawing the wall.

list of material

For successful implementation of the wiring, you will need:

- the right section of cable. Usually outlet group, use the cable cross section 2.5 square, and the coverage of 1.5 square. If you need to connect the energy-intensive appliances such as the hob, then he laid a separate line of 6 mm square cross-section. It is recommended to choose either VVG ng or NYM.

- Corrugated pipe. Its cross section is chosen depending on the section of cable purchased.

- Fixing for corrugated pipes. Moreover, it can be both specialized and homemade.

- Junction boxes with the appropriate IP protection

- Outlets and switches the desired style and desired quantity.

- Enclosures. Designed for installation in plasterboard.

- And as to drill with a 65 mm cutter, a knife, insulating tape and pliers.

Install junction boxes

Once we have completed all the preparatory work, we proceed to the immediate implementation of our new wiring. To do this, set boxes at predetermined locations. They are fixed very easily by means of conventional screws.

The next step is fixed on the walls of the fixing elements, and they should be installed on not more than 30 cm apart (watch to corrugation cable does not sag under its own weight). Just make holes in the frame (if there are not provided in advance) so that through them it was possible to push through corrugated cable.

Next fasten corrugated already threaded with her cable (so it will be much easier than the first corrugation fix and then later fill the cable into it).

Then perform wiring junction box and securely fix the place where the sockets and switches are as follows, we all sewed up sheetrock.

Important. Since, according to the requirements of normative documents, to distribution boxes should be provided with easy access, the work on this point during the installation of the FCL.

After all be sewn drywall sheets, proceed to the installation of switches and sockets. To do this in a pre-selected location drilled a hole using a drill with an attachment, we find so previously installed cables and carry out installation of specialized podrozetnik Drywall.

Next, the connection sockets and switches, and then turn on the automatic input in the control panel and check the correctness of the work done.

As you can see Wiring under the plasterboard is quite simple and marketable type of work. If the article was useful to you, then put his finger up and thank you for your attention!
