[QUOTE="wytco0, post: 538396, member: 35832"] I will start by saying that all the CU connections and testing etc related to this project will be done by a professional electrician. I am doing some preparation. Attached is an annotated photo showing the current situation, there are 3 separate SWA cables and a twinwall duct. Originally I was going to use an individual 85mm Adaptable boxes for each SWA cable with a separate hole through the wall for each one. I am now thinking that it might be neater run all the SWA and the twinwall from underground up a bit of external trunk into a larger external box and then make a larger hole through the wall. This will mean just one larger hole and will allow for additional cable to be run in at a later date. If possible I will pull the SWA through the wall without any external termination so that it can be fully terminated internally. The twinwall is about 60mm diameter and the box will be approx. 70cm above the ground level. In my [ATTACH type="full"]14695[/ATTACH]photo the blue is approximately where the Trunk would go and the yellow is for the external box. I would be grateful for any ideas and recommendations for a neat(ish) solution, what sort of external trunk would work, it would need to be about 75mm square to get everything inside, I am happy to cut the twinwall duct of just above ground level once its secure. Also ideas for a decent external box. Thanks [/QUOTE]
