I'm an Improver with six months experience in the Commercial sector, mainly with first and second fix contracts but have recently had a friend ask me to do some minor work on the outside of his home.
Im 90% confident I can do the job but wanted some advice first...
He wants a normal ring main socket on the outside of his house to power a water filter, my plan was to buy an IP rated socket box and spur from the ring main from inside his house. Either feeding the 2.5 from the back of the socket on the inside to the back on the outside so there is no expose cable or, under the box and up into the socket. Fixing the box to the wall is no problem, I have all my own drills and tools.
Excuse my naivety, but will the IP socket box come RDC protected or will I have to install one into the CU and feed it to the spur I'm installing? Like I said, I've never done any Domestic work and what I learnt at college is a blur as I qualified almost two years ago. I never did an apprenticeship I just went to college then like most of other people struggled to get into the industry.
I'll stop justifying now... lol
Hopefully what I was going to do is correct if not I would love to hear from you, along with anything else you think I should know. Cheers!
