Howdy all,
Looking for some opinions/advice Ime planing out a job for putting power in my shed.
Plan is drill through a socket on the ringmain in the living room wall to the outside, Fit a IP66 FCU with RCD protection, Then off that to a IP66 double socket, then onto my shed with SWA for another socket and light.
Nothing to hairy.
But I was thinking of the best way to join the FCU to the SSO in terms of keeping them watertight as they will be obviously be open to the elements.
So I was thinking of using these:
Masterseal IP56 PVC 20mm Conduit Entry | Outdoor Cable Entry | Screwfix.com
Out the bottom of each unit and then have a bit of 20mm bent between them.
So heres my questions:
Firstly do the above seals work with any 20mm knockout or will the only fit the MK range as Ime planing on going with BG stuff to keep the cost down.
Secondly in terms of drilling through the external wall is there a minimum height to go past to avoid any damp course etc as I cant see any membrane or anything like you sometimes do (house was built around 98 if thats any help) Also what about sealing the hole back up around the T&E cable?
Best to use silicone or just put some mortar around it?
Cheers all.
