Baffled. Sewage eater.

Hi Guys. wondered if any of you guys have installed one of these or similar. It's a Marsh External compressor housing. Basically it for pumping sewage away and into an underground plastic cess- pool. Ground worker put everything in when doing drains etc.
SWA supply cable there and 2 x 16 amp skts. 2 x flexes. 1 flex for the air compressor and the other for the pump. No electrical drawings on site. I will try and search on the new later. There does not seem enough room to terminate a SWA cable. Thoughts appreciated

Yes, I would use artic blue. Is there not plenty of room for a box under there? Put on RCBO as it is sure that the pump will die in time and trip out any RCD.

I only had a quick look at whist freezing cold, took pics and thought about it afterwards. I will find out on the day re available room. I'm thinking about possibly using a IP box with a din rail with connectors on. Would that be going over the top?

Update: I must be doing this all wrong. The 16amp sockets are supplied with 25mm Dia plastic stuffing glands which are far too big for the artic flex. Also when glands fitted to the sockets, unable to fit the lid! The glands protude too far out. See OP pic above. The compressor is only rated at 40w, the pump MI says 10 amp circuit reqd.

Move the sockets?

fit reducers and 20mm glands.

fit reducers and 20mm glands.

As Snowhead and you have said,move sockets. The existing sockets are factory fitted onto threaded studs that are fitted through the base.

Buy 2 trailing sockets instead then

Back entry to existing sockets from under the lid.

Could i wire above directly from consumer unit via it's own RCBO? That would provide means of isolation and OCP. Out side, the pump and comp can be isolated by unplugging?
