Mounting Observing other preconditions – Always install flush-mounted boxes for data and extra-low-voltage devices separately from flush-mounted boxes for low-voltage devices. – Install flush-mounted boxes for device with different circuits separately from one another. Inserting cables and pipes Note! Cables or pipes can be inserted into the wall before or after the flush-mounted boxes are inserted. During plastering, it is usually simpler to insert the cables or pipes in advance.
Fig 9: Connecting flush-mounted device boxes with bayonet lock 1. Place the bayonet locks against each other at a slight angle ( 2. Turn the flush-mounted boxes against each other until the bayonet lock engages ( 16 | EN OBO Bettermann...
Mounting Creating drill holes The holes for the flush-mounted boxes are created using a countersink machine or drill with the appropriate drill bit for the masonry to be drilled through. A centring tip must be used for better guidance. The drilling diameters are 68 or 82 mm for single boxes, if the bayonet locks are not removed.
The following section describes plastering and fixing with Quick-Fix and nail straps. The appropriate processing information is stated on the pack- aging for sticking, cementing or foaming. 18 | EN OBO Bettermann...
Mounting 6 5 1 Plastering flush-mounted boxes in Note! During insertion, observe the later plaster thickness and let the flush-mounted box protrude out of the drill hole. Note! If some plaster enters the box from behind, then this can improve the hold in the masonry. Fig 12: Stirring the plaster 1. Stir the plaster with water according to the description on the packag- ing. Fig 13: Wet the drill hole and apply the plaster 2.

Fig 14: Inserting the flush-mounted box 4. Insert the flush-mounted box, observing the horizontal or vertical alignment of the screw domes and the insertion depth. 5. Let the plaster harden before inserting cables and devices. 20 | EN OBO Bettermann...
Mounting 6 5 2 Fixing flush-mounted boxes with Quick-Fix It is possible to fix the flush-mounted box in the drill hole without plaster- ing or sticking using the Quick-Fix quick fastening. For this, the drill hole must have a diameter of 82 mm. The final fixing of the flush-mounted box is carried out by plastering.

2. Push the flush-mounted box into the drill hole, until the straps of the Quick-Fix quick fastening are folded over completely and are located on the masonry. Fig 17: Fixing the Quick-Fix 3. Optionally fix the Quick-Fix to the wall with steel nails. 22 | EN OBO Bettermann...
Mounting 6 5 3 Fixing flush-mounted boxes with nail straps Using the nail straps, it is possible to fix the flush-mounted box in the drill hole without plastering or sticking. The precondition is soft stone or the option of nailing into the mortar joint. The final fixing of the flush-mounted box is carried out by plastering.
The devices can be used after plastering. The 4 x 3 screw domes allow exact alignment of the devices. Fig 19: Connecting the device 1. Connect the device with cables. Fig 20: Inserting a device 24 | EN OBO Bettermann...

Mounting 6 7 2 Inserting a sealing plug The screw plug can be used to close empty corrugated pipes or pipes with cables airtight. Cables laying in the pipe can be pushed airtight through the screw plug. Inserting the sealing plug in an empty pipe Fig 23: Inserting the sealing plug 1.
The compensation ring can be used to compensate for an offset of 10 or 20 mm between the top edge of the flush-mounted box and the wall or plaster surface. Fig 26: Mounting a plaster compensation ring 1. Screw the device screws out of the flush-mounted box. 28 | EN OBO Bettermann...
Mounting 2. Place the screw domes of the plaster compensation ring on the screw domes of the flush-mounted box. 3. Screw on the plaster compensation ring with the device screws. 6 7 5 Mounting the cover Attaching/removing the signal cover The signal cover can be used to protect flush-mounted boxes during plastering.
1. Break out the required number of break-out openings from the parti- tion. 2. Bend over the clip and insert the partition in the electronic box. 3. Push the clip under the screw domes to fix the partition. 30 | EN OBO Bettermann...
Maintaining flush-mounted boxes Maintaining flush-mounted boxes Flush-mounted boxes do not require maintenance. Dismantling flush-mounted boxes Plastered or stuck-in flush-mounted boxes must be chiselled or broken out of the wall with an appropriate tool, e.g. a crowbar. If the flush-mount- ed boxes are only nailed on, then the nail connections can be removed again, e.g.
