[QUOTE="DIYShock, post: 314406, member: 22163"] NozSpark. Thanks for your comments. The only thing I have done so far is lay a cable - so I think it would be a little drastic to suggest ripping it up - you, Marvo and the sales assistant have all said it should be fit for purpose. I know SWA is not to be connected by a plug. However, if you connect SWA to a junction box then a 3-core from the junction to the plug would that be workable? As far as 600mm, I believe that depends on the location. I understand the 17th ed states it must be deep enough to avoid disturbance by routine use of the ground - 400mm under concrete and 600mm under flower beds is suggested, but there is no written rule. The only must as far as I was aware was that there must be warning tape above the cable - which there is. The depth is certainly great enough that no one is going to disturb it through routine gardening! Thanks for the confirmation that IP66 shouldn't be floor mounted. That's what I wanted to know, so thank you. Any further help would be gratefully appreciated. [/QUOTE]
