I need to run an out door supply.
However the dist board is boxed in.
There is access back entry but that doesn't help glanding a swa.
Could you gland outside to a through box them carry the same cable to the breaker?
Taking an earth leas from the conduit box also.

Yes you can.
 
Well the conduit box will be behind some boxing in and under a lean to

I would leave the box accessible. Not behind some boxing in.
Also the cable from the box to the breaker will have to be RCD protected, depending on installation method.
 
I was going to put it on a 32 amp rcbo
As it's going to an outdoor isolator for a hot tub.
What size cable do you intend to run, how far is the hot tub from the C/U, what loading is the hot tub, what installation method are you intending to use.?

why do some people think we can do a job for them while on this forum .
take picture of the work it will tell a story.
 
Not to be rude but how is a picture of a wall where I intend to mount a conduit box going to help ?
I'm not at the job right now.
Just wanted to confirm I can gland somewhere else other than at the ccu since its not something I've done ever.
 
This forum always starts off helpful then soon turns to negativity and do you want me to do the job for you.
So helpful, probably get more help on a fitters forum.
take no noticeof buzzlightyear. (nobody else does :)). your plan saounds OK. gland SWA into a adaptable box, carry the tails into the CU ( in pvc tube is a good idea ), add an earth tail for earthing the armour, job's sound.
