Hi all, Might sound like a daft question!!!!
Say you wanted to run a SWA cable up an external wall and then through it. Easiest way would be a plastic IP rated box, a CW gland into it, and a "piranha" or similar earth nut on inside to take care of the armour CPC continuity etc etc.
But say you did not want to use a plastic box??? An ordinary galv adaptable one would not fill up with water, because it would leak out as quickly as it filled up, but not good!!!!
So, how did you do it years ago before plastic boxes??? A one way conduit box with a hole drilled in the back and a bit of conduit through the wall i suppose...
What is/was the proper way to do it???
