Capping ducting above ground?

[Lancsrick]

Hi all, long time lurker first time poster.

I'm running a new supply to my garage, 6mm2 armoured over a 14m run. Most of this will be underground, and will be in 50mm ducting.

I can't find much information on how best to cap/terminate/seal the end of the ducting once it emerges above ground to prevent water and debris ingress.

At one end the cable will run up a wall approx 2m,at the other end it will run up the wall approx 6 inches then punch through horizontally to the interior.

Many thanks!

Can you not run the ducting ends into the buildings?

Rigid Foam

stuff a bit of pipe insulation in the duct. that way you can always access for any future cables .

Wot do you put in the hole made for the pipe in the pipe insulation?

Thanks all. I could run the duct into the wall at one end but I don't want to have the ducting run up the other wall into the soffits as it will be really bulky.

Duct resin or expanding foam, I would go with resin as foam degrades after a few years.

Kim Jong-in has promised not to nuc' us. Trump's gone hard on the Russki's. All we need to do is send the Russki's on a COSHH course, and its happy days. Next you'll be arguing about turquoise Zdb's or something
