[QUOTE="UNG, post: 548151, member: 8931"] Given the outdoor environment you have a limited choice as the accessories will need to have a suitable IP rating Why given that the installation is outdoors Are you building the wall around this installation or are you chasing it into a finished wall Is it that the search results are not compatible with what you want to do I find it worrying that you are even asking this Have you thought of using [URL]https://www.electricpoint.com/mk-masterseal-plus-k56503gry-2-gang-flush-mounting-bezel-grey-k5.html?utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=datafeed&utm_campaign=google-shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwvilBhCFARIsADvYi7LKI7ZjJUM3pwIW8y1LU77SgsL59Py7yBSOAka-sd9E2hIizqVzPYUaAqOdEALw_wcB[/URL] with the MK outdoor sockets, I have used quite a few and they make the outdoor sockets less obtrusive Burying SWA cable in a wall is asking for future problems you would probably be better using plastic conduit The mind boggles as to what "fuse board" you are going to install and where you are going to install it for the outside seating area I assume you mean you are installing SWA in underground ducting And the big question, given this is a DIY project how do you intend to test and verify the finished installation complies with and meets the requirements of BS7671 so you can minimise the risk of a fatality [/QUOTE]
