Would T&E be approved for use in steel conduit and outdoors?

[sheppy619]

Hi, My first post so hopefully I am correct in posting it here.

My question is, I am thinking of an IP rated outdoor socket for the back garden.

I have drilled out to the exterior and now wish to move the socket 1 meter away from where the hole is.
I would say use of steel conduit would be best for this application but what cable type would you use in the 20mm galvanised conduit?
OSG doesn't recognise T&E being used in Conduit, and I don't believe singles would be suitable for use passing through bricks without mechanical protection of the sleeving.

Kind Regards and Thanks for your help everyone

I would treat the T+E as multicore, method B, if I was going to run it in conduit. Personally, I would forget the conduit and use NYYJ or SWA, but it's your call.

I was also thinking that, but what also comes to mind is flex cable which you can strip back and turn into singles if needed for bends etc.

It’s fine.. bit awkward to install in conduit especially LSOH 2.5mm T&E
