Adaptable box with front entry.

[RDB85]

I’m looking to fix a previous install. After having some rendering I have a feed that’s in 10mm T&E and I’m looking to replace the conduit. The gate is being replaced. I’m just looking for an adaptable box that I can have conduit come out the front.

I’ve decided to have the conduit come out from a Wiska box go down the side of the house and then across the gate with a length of conduit into another Wiska box and then another length into an Adaptable Box and go into the rear into the Garage and into the sub main board.

Any help or advice would be great.

So you want the conduit to come out from the adaptable box lid?

Yes if possible or another way if there is one.

I understand the first part but not getting an entry through an adaptable box lid.

Are you still wanting it to cross the (new) gate at that height as that would feel suboptimal to me?
My first instinct from the photo's (tin hat on!) - have you considered running conduit down the house wall, top entry into adaptable box, swap to SWA and run that underground and maybe just cleat that the garage side?

If I fix two adaptable boxes or Wiska boxes at either ends so top of the gate. I need a way of running a straight piece of conduit across the top of the gate.

It’s all decorated and the paving is all cemented in as it goes onto the house at ceiling height, into a cupboard which has the CCU in. So it would have to go across the new gate unfortunately.

Agree I wouldn't persist with the conduit. Adaptable box on the house and change to swa.

Not a lot you can do there by the look of it.

I'd just replace all parts. Stick a new terminal box on the house, drop a pipe down to a slip bend with a couple of saddles on the wall, pipe across the gate tie wrapped to gate to keep it straight, into another slip bend against the garage, more pipe with saddles and another terminal box.

If I absolutely couldn't go underground with SWA, then catenary wire the other side of the gate might be worth a ponder.

If you stick with conduit following the route shown on the photos, I'm not following why you would choose to put them in that exact position or why they are in fact needed. Sorry if I'm missing something.

So it will follow the same route down the house but where the bend is I’m looking to replace it with a Wiska or adaptable box then go straight across. As the arch is going and a new gate in its place. There will be another box on the right, on top of the wall. Then across into the garage.

It’s not possible to change to SWA as both rooms have been decorated.

10mm² t/e? In 20mm conduit?

Looks like 25.0.

Could be. Even so, it will be a struggle getting around the bends.
