Hi, I’m planning on installing a double socket on outside wall coming off my main in living room. I’m using black 20mm conduit for my 2.5 cable for running along exterior wall to exterior socket.
My question is will the fittings tower-female-adaptors be ok for waterproof situations with pvc cement or some type?

Thank you
 
Don't forget to open a drain hole on that socket so that any leaking water that did enter the enclosure will not build up

Is this socket circuit Rcd protected

Yep will do that, and yes it’s protected already!
Was going to put fused switch on aswell for some additional? What you recommend?
 
I recommend identifying that you will be spurring off the existing ring final circuit or what the existing point that you are feeding the outside socket from.
 
Don’t really need a fuses spur unless you plan on running multiple sockets but it is nice for local isolation thou
 
rather than a FCU, a D/P switch might be advantageous. any faults outside can then be isolated.
