   Position the socket base on the desired surface. Mark the drilling points through the mounting holes. Drill holes and insert wall plugs if necessary. Secure the socket base to the wall using appropriate screws. The joint joints between the mechanism and the wall facilitate easy fitting on various surfaces.
3. Prepare Wiring: The socket box is equipped with top and bottom membranes for pipe inlet diameters up to 25mm. Carefully remove the membrane for your chosen cable entry point. Strip the outer insulation of the electrical cable and then strip the individual wires (Live, Neutral, Earth) to the appropriate length for connection.
