You can often hear, as some say "shit", and others - "strobe". What is the difference, or it does not exist at all?
The organization of hidden wiring requires some knowledge, and its installation should be carried out by the person, who has some knowledge in the field of electricity. When conducting a hidden type you will inevitably have to find out, what is a strobe and why it is needed during installation.
The concept of strobe
It is accepted to consider, that the strobe is a special groove, made of concrete for easy communication. It can be like wiring, and the pipeline. The strobe is of different depths, width. It can vary depending on the thickness of the wire.
The strobe is made using the following tools:
- штраборез;
- зубрило;
- perforator.
If necessary in the course of work it is possible to use the angular grinder. It is very convenient in that case, when it is necessary to make a preliminary cut in concrete. In the future, the digging process will be simpler.
There is another concept of shtraba. This is the name given to punching furrows in concrete structures.
Whatever concept and definition you use in any case, the strobe allows the cable to be completely hidden in the wall and increases the security of all wiring.
How to speak correctly: strab or strobe
Today, on equal terms, workers use the concepts of strab and strobe. And in that, and in other words there are certain supporters. Those, who claim, what is right to say shtraba, tell about the origin of the concept. They say, that the word came into Russian from German, so pronounce, it must be written with the letter "a".
Some say, that the concept is French, the word is written accordingly through the letter "o". However, most people still agree, what is right to say shtraba. Professional literature on electricity does not resort to the use of these concepts. The word furrow is used in textbooks and manuals.
Use any concept, only you can decide. It should be borne in mind, that the word strobe is rather colloquial, than scientific.
How to make the right shot
It doesn't matter much, what is the concept you decide to use in the process. It is much more important, how exactly you do the job, how high-quality and reliable it will be for further operation of wiring in the house.
Methods of cutting grooves for wiring
Today, electricians use two main methods of cutting strobes:
- with the help of a shredder;
- with the help of a Bulgarian.
In the first case, the work takes little time, what, unequivocally, is a great advantage of this method. in addition, you can work in the presence, example, household, as this method will not allow a large amount of dust to be released into the air. The depth and width of the furrow in the case of using a shredder will be uniform. The strobe will be beautiful and smooth.
However, this method has its drawbacks. Example, this is the high cost of the tool. Usually, you only need to make one groove, and to buy an expensive device for this work is hardly practical.
In the second case, when you use Bulgarian, you will hardly have to buy anything special. Probably the master, which works with electricity, there will be at least some Bulgarian.
This method has a number of disadvantages:
- uneven furrow in width, and the depth of the groove;
- a large amount of concrete dust.
It is worth noting, that it is almost impossible to avoid the appearance of dust when using a Bulgarian. It is sure to stand out in large numbers and litter not only all the items in the apartment, but also the nose, ears, eyes.
How to make a strobe without a Bulgarian
You can use an ordinary electric drill in the manufacture of strobes. It does not matter, which model is right at your fingertips. Absolutely any drill will do.
In the course of work it is necessary to make grinding heads from abrasive material. These nozzles come in completely different shapes. With their help you will be able to reach even the most inaccessible places.
Then you need to mark the place, where exactly the furrow will pass. Treat this strip with a cylindrical nozzle. Try to keep the drill as strong as possible during operation.
It is important to remember, that in the process of work there will be a lot of dust, so try to remove all the furniture, protect your respiratory tract.
Fastening and sealing
Use for sealing clips. It's more convenient, than the use of other improvised materials.
Lay the strobe with a mixture of gypsum putty. Importantly, that you need to add the dry mixture to the water, and not vice versa. Any material is suitable.
Today it is equally often used as a concept of "strab", and the word "strobe". if in doubt, you have every right to use the term "furrow" or "groove". It is important to remember, that the content is invested in them is exactly the same as specialists, and ordinary lovers.
