Suggestions for mounting

[Scott Harman]

Hi guys, I need some suggestions. I have a job next weekend in which the customer has asked for outdoor sockets to be mounted on a steel fixing coming from the ground and I'm stumped with what to use?
Any help?

unistrut? just concrete it in

 

[not clever]

Steel fixing, well that narrows it down.

if the steel is already in situ, drill it and fix socket with 4mm bolts, washers, lock washers and nuts

I need to put the steel in place, unistrut is quite a good idea

extraneous metal part ?

Hardly relevant outside the equipotential zone, the ground is also extraneous.

So if steels becomes live ?

Why would it miraculously become live? If the steel was deemed an exposed conductive part (which I doubt it would be) it would need earthing.

Live not terminated properly, pops out touches screwhead into post, Mr x leans on post

Use BG sockets as they have caps to cover screw fixing heads

Even if it was a concern I could just take a fly lead to the steel as it's coming off of the ring circuit which is protected by an rcd

Knock about 6 foot of unistrut in and connect an earth fly lead to it - the socket can be TT then Only kidding before anyone goes off on one. Daz
