I have a 20mm steel conduit drop to an accessory box buried in the wall. It was previously used for lighting cables and had 2 x 1.5 t+e and 1 x 1.5 3+e squeezed into it. There is no actual conduit system installed - the conduit simply goes into the loft and ends. There is some kind of rubber grommet on the end to prevent chafing.
I want to re-purpose the box (dual single gang) with a 1-way light switch and a switched FCU to control some outside sockets.
This means 2 x 2.5 and 1 x 1.0 mm cables.
I don't want to put t+e back in the conduit, and I don't think it will fit anyway.
All the wiring in the loft is t+e, including the ring I want to spur from for the sockets.
Singles will obviously fit so I guess my question is what's the approved method of joining the singles emerging from the top of the conduit to the existing t+e? Would plastic conduit into a plastic surface box screwed to the rafters with the t+e entering from the other side, and wago or similar used for the join be OK?
