First you need to decide where you want to put the outlet group in the room. If this is a kitchen, then it is better to place the socket block over the worktop, so that when you connect a multicooker, microwave oven and other kitchen appliances, there is enough cord length. In the living room or hall, it is best to install the product behind the TV so that the big screen can hide all the cords. If you decide to put a block of two or three outlets in the bathroom, consider the important rule - the distance from the water should be at least 0.6 meters and at the same time the case of electrical points should be waterproof.

The first and very important rule - the distance between the centers of the receivers must be strictly 72 mm. If you allow an error, when installing a decorative cover, it may not fall into place. In addition, make sure that all round strokes are placed in the same horizontal or vertical plane. For this we recommend using the building level.

After that, make jumpers to connect the remaining outlets in the unit. Connection of a block of 3 or 4 sockets must be made according to this scheme: So, first of all, turn off the electricity on the apartment panel, and then connect the lead-in wires from the junction box to the first socket: phase, zero and ground
