Hi,

I've got a customer who wants me to run a cable in whilst a floor is up and leave the end "out" of the house in preparation for a new garage to be built. Running the cable after the floor goes back down won't be feasible due the route it will have to take.

My plan is to run some 6mm cable and leave it terminated in a junction box on the outside wall of the house (obviously the other end won't be terminated in the CU!)

In time then a new armoured cable could be connected and run to the garage whilst its being built.

So the question is what IP rated JB's do you good people recommend?

Thanks
 
If its not going to be terminated in the cu why do you need to terminate the other end, when you first fix a rewire do you put jb,s on the end of every conductor?? just leave it coiled up, labeled and out of the weather
 
can you not just wire it in armour from the db? leave it disconnected till its needed. coil it up. no joints no jbs gotta be a better way.
 
I way I read it the OP is installing the cable n leaving it before the garage gets built hence he wants to protect cable ends from the elements ??
 
lol Reading the question tho"4X4 box and gasket Where would I get that?" Does suggest a bit of DIYer about it as any spark knows you get these at your local plumbers merchant
