[QUOTE="DIYShock, post: 314554, member: 22163"] Why not, would you advise otherwise?? And test it for what? Overheating? Live connected to Neutral? Earth failure? CU/RCD/MCB functioning correctly? Helpful advice is always appreciated but I couldn't extract much information from your comment. NozSpark, thanks for the comments. I was curious as to the reasoning behind your advice not to floor mount it. I can understand where you're coming from but as long as the water can drain away, surely something that can withstand a 1bar (at 3m) 1/2inch jet of water at 100 litres water per minute can probably withstand some water from a standard garden hose or watering can. Isn't this the purpose of it being IP66 rated? Anyway, I will take onboard your advice and experience, and will probably mount it upright anyway. If nothing else, the screw-holes in the back must cause a reduction in the IP66 rating if it is on its back (or a set of drainage holes.... ) I do appreciate your time and advice everyone, and when I eventually get chance to do this, I will feel that I am at least following the right path.
