Anything wrong with this socket install?

Another interesting comment...

The OSG actually states twin & E is ok "For use on exterior surface
walls, boundary walls and the like". Table 3A

The best one is the fella that recesses the outside socket, will see if I can find it.

I do like the chalk pen though..

I have one an excellent idea, works very well, got it at ELEX last year

This interesting :

Charging unsuspecting customers for an out of date document, one that is freely available

Doesn't inspire confidence.

Hi Spoon - This may be a development of my domestic blindness but Table 3A doesn't seem to exist in my OSG, can you assist?

Hmm...not sure about that conduit. I mean, I have used it to contain a length of T&E to an outside light, running vertically up a wall, no real risk of physical damage, just used it to protect the cable from uv degradation, but I wouldn't want it just lying on the ground. Maybe he could've put a couple of glands on it where it enters the box too...they're cheap enough.

I have used flexi black conduit for small stretches of HO7RN flex for spot lights in flower beds, use swa to the whiska box then a small stretch of flex which is put in some flexi conduit in the flower bed, ran on the top surface and the flexi conduit adds minimal extra protection to the sturdy HO7RN but Is chunky and helps the customer to to see the supply when gardening.

Thanks! I should've been able to find it. In my one it's Appendix C Table C1 .

And there's more

Two comments that the muppet in the video has posted on YouTube. I despair :

I think you miss the purpose of this video. It's designed so that anyone can do it. You don't need to be an electrician as it is in principal an extension lead nor does it need to be inspected or signed off by a certified electrical contractor.

I have drilled/put 5 holes in the unit, 1 at each corner for the screws and 1 centred for rear cable entry point. They thus become drain holes. In addition I used an earth/ground cable on the plastic casing as an extra safety feature. The manufacturer has it IP66 rated but if you start drilling more holes in it then the rating would not apply.

I thought the whole point of Part P being introduced was ostensibly to put a stop to these rogue installs where DIY idiots 'test' with a drill rather than with a 17th edition multifunction tester? If so, then Part P clearly isn't working.

it's never worked since it's inception ( except to swell the coffers of niceic and the like).

Got to agree with that lot

I remember seeing this video when it was first uploaded. My first thoughts were that I would never use t+e in flexible conduit externally just thrown on the ground.

The guy in the video had alot of videos and iv spotted quite a few questionable methods. His video on joining the scams was quite interesting

Yes! Can't find it though.

I reckon he got so embarrassed with all the flak he received he took the video down. Because it did make him look a bit of one didn't it?

 

[SparkyChick]

I think the same thing has happened to the video in your OP @Pete999 as I can't access it here or on YouTube
