The electric wire element 41 of the electric wire 4 is inserted and connected to the electric wire connection port 34 of the electric wire connecting convex portion 33. In this way, the rear surface of the mounting plate 2 with the outlet block 3 mounted on the front surface is brought into contact with the front surface of the mounted wall 1, and the opening 11 of the mounted wall 1 is closed by the mounting plate 2.

The clamp metal fitting 4 is applied to the rear surface of the wall 1 to be mounted, the screw 5 is inserted into the mounting hole 23 at the upper and lower center of the mounting plate 2, and the tip end of the screw 5 is screwed into the female screw hole 41 of the clamp metal fitting 4. The mounting plate 2 is mounted on the front surface of the wall 1 to be mounted.

When the outlet block 3 is to be replaced, the electric wire 4 is removed from the outlet block 3 and the hook 32 of the outlet block 3 is removed from the wiring device mounting hole 21 of the mounting plate 2 to mount the outlet block 3 on the mounting plate 2. Can be removed from.

After removing the outlet block 3 from the mounting plate 2 in this manner, another outlet block 3
To attach to the mounting plate 2, hook the hook 32 of another outlet block 3 on the wiring device mounting hole 21 of the mounting plate 2, insert the wire connection protrusion 33 into the wire insertion hole 22 of the mounting plate 2, The attachment work is completed by inserting and connecting the electric wire element 41 of the electric wire 4 into the electric wire connecting port 34 of the electric wire connecting convex portion 33.

Incidentally, in FIG.
Although a state in which the individual outlet blocks 3 are attached is shown, since the wiring device attaching hole 21 and the elliptical electric wire insertion hole 22 are provided in three stages in the attaching plate 2, the three outlet blocks 3 are shown. Can be installed.
