Abstract

An installation block for dry walls is disclosed. The installation block includes at least one through-hole for passing through a cable, pipe, or the like. The installation block also includes two installation block parts, which are joined together and have a separating plane T, which intersects with the at least one through-hole. Further, a dry wall and a method for installing an installation block are disclosed.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for installing an installation block, comprising the steps of:
inserting a first installation block part into a stud frame of a dry wall being constructed from below a pipe, a conduit, or a cable laid through the dry wall and receiving the pipe, the conduit, or the cable into a first portion of a through-hole in the first installation block part; and
inserting a second installation block part into the stud frame of the dry wall from above the pipe, the conduit, or the cable and receiving the pipe, the conduit, or the cable into a second portion of the through-hole in the second installation block to form the installation block and to form the through-hole;
wherein the first and the second installation block parts have a separating plane, wherein the first and the second installation block parts may be separated from each other in the separating plane, and wherein the separating plane is disposed a distance away from a plane that intersects a longitudinal axis going through the center of the through-hole.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first and the second installation block parts are attached to the stud frame.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the installation block has an installation section that is inserted into a track of the stud frame of the dry wall.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the installation section is formed as a lateral protrusion of the installation block and wherein a thickness of the lateral protrusion is smaller than a thickness of the installation block.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the installation section is disposed centrally at a side of the installation block.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a density of the installation block is between 0.5 kg/1 and 1.1 kg /l.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the installation block comprises mineral fibers or inorganic lightweight fillers.
