How to connect a socket

Before you start installing a new outlet, make sure that the electricity in your apartment is disabled from the central block.
Open the power supply unit and click on the button that is responsible for shutdown.
If you do not complete this item, then the discharge of electricity on the finger, or even throughout the body, you are provided.

After performing the aforementioned action, it is necessary to dismantle the old outlet. To do this, you need to unscrew the protective cover using a screwdriver.

After removing the protective cover, it is necessary to dismantle the inner part of the socket. It can be installed by means of screws. If so, then separate the screws and unscrew the internal block of the socket. It is important to do it carefully not to damage the frame and the hole in the wall.
Otherwise, after installing a new outlet, it will be necessary to make a cosmetic repair, and these are extra costs that are not needed by anyone. Note that the wire, according to which electricity comes into the rosette, cannot be touched.
To install a new outlet, a special box will be required. You can buy it on any relevant market.
After that, you need to drill the box in the place where the wire will pass. In addition, you need to expand a little hole in the wall and adjust it under the size of the box for the outlet.
To make sure that the actions are correct, as you deepen in the wall, periodically insert the box into it. Make these actions must be performed until you make sure the recess is enough for the steady installation of the box.

Now that the box is tightly held, it is necessary to prepare a special material that will be deceived at the edges. This material is called "Alebaster".
Alabaster must be diluted with water and wait a couple of minutes until it accepts the desired consistency.
After that, you need to smear the resulting mass around the free space, which remains when placing a box in a hole.

Note that it is necessary to do this as soon as possible, because the alabaster dries quickly. Make sure that the box is sitting tightly and wait 5-10 minutes until the alabaster is dry. In order not to damage the wallpaper, it is necessary to glue the wall around a hole with a scotch tape or other material that will not give the alabaster to spoil the non-working surface.

Disconnect the plastic surface of the inside of the socket, which we have previously postponed.
The electrical wire in which the energy comes is to insert into the outlet disconnected from the plastic. For this, there are two small holes in the outlet.
After the actions done, we clap the rosette of the screws so that it was tightly sitting in our box.

The last stage of the installation of the socket is the installation of a plastic cover. It is necessary to do this by the same principle as when dismantling (just spinning the screw).

Following this instruction, you can always install a socket at home, with minimal cost. The only thing you need is a special box and a new socket cover. In the worst case, if you hit the wallpaper Alebaster, you will have to buy some wallpaper. Although, perhaps you had a small roll after repairing the apartment.
