A kitchen extension I was doing at the beginning of the year.
The plumber thought it would be a good idea to mount his pipes dead in front of my box.
He then decided that he's pipes were more important than my cabling
And to top it all, my carefully measured down light positions were ignored and again my cabling totally ignored.
After having a word with the house owner, a new plumber was employed and pipes re-installed.

Came across a garden lighting install today with a few issues. How about this for an easy way to terminate the SWA, saves all that messing about with metal boxes and banjos or piranhas!

Yes, I had to check, you can see all the cut-off steel just below the plug.
The other end is just as neat, cut-off steel again, and bare inner wires (the inner sheath removed) to light fitting, open to the elements and any passing wildlife that fancies chewing them.

Absolutely. It'll be IP00 or, if the 'enclosure' has been positioned correctly, IP01.

Agree, thats an SWA - you can read the voltage dialectric value on the side.. I would suggest that isn't a swa gland and in fact the pvc is cut and the clip is bonded to the steel wires.

PV install on a garage roof and the new build garage has a SWA feeding it! Brilliant, easy to feed into the Grid!!!! Then we looked at the other end..........
SWA fed from a plug top, plugged into an extension, plugged into the hallway socket!!!! Only just had enough space to fit a double pole Iso in that cupboard.

Ha, only a bit. You don't have your name for nothing I see.
The original conduit stopped an inch before the box so had to knock out a bit of wall to rewire. If you think that's a mess you should see the rest of the house !

Don't you love it when customers insist on buying all the accessories even down to the LED lamps as they know what they want and know they can get the best deals ? A sparky will just add loads of mark up and rip them off anyway.
