solutions for terminating pond pump and lights armoured?

[SparkyDips]

as above and just need a solution which is not too vulgar to terminate SWA's and then run feeds to pump and lights.

regards.

20mm conduit terminal boxes are quite compact, fit lid & Gasket with 20mm stuffing gland in lid.

Should have said: If surface mounting.

Maybe an suitable ip rated adaptable box with a din rail fitted and some din rail terminals and a parana nut for maintaining earth continuity should you need to when terminating the swa into the plastic and stuffing glads for the flex

As above, is what i always do, and if burying then fill with joint resin.

Are they switched/supplied seperately?

 

[SparkyDips]

yes switched and supplied seperatly. the customer wants them hidden as much as possible, was thinking IP box in the ground but not keep on the resin/silicone to seal afterwards.

other option was mount on a small pedestal on edge of pond area with IP rated switches, armoured into the bottom then also run flex out via stuffing gland??

 

[jase]

where are they switched from? how bout ip rated fusespurs?

 

[SparkyDips]

they are fed via 2 fused spurs located in the house.

Out of interest does the "donor" ring have RCD protection?

If your not keen on compound,what about the Magic Gel I have heard of, it is supposed to be a sealant but removable

yes!! claws away now thankyou!!

I would be suggesting keeping any connections above the ground - far better now and in the future.

You could use the LINE Junction Box IP67 kit.

An option would be to use one 3 or 4 core (depending if armour is CPC or not), one common neutral and two switched line - would save on SWA costs. Picture of this arrangement attached. Alternatively use two LINE.

LINE IP67 can be buried but surround it with blinding e.g. soft building sand. CPC continuity is achieved the same way as the large resin pour underground JB's- if you're interested let me know and I will give you details.

think i will do the following: terminate armoured into IP rated junction box, adaptaflex out to 2 gang switch on pedestal, adaptaflex from switch to equipment.

can keep pedestal pretty low level so not sticking out too bad. IP junction boxes can then be hidden easily.

thanks LineProducts will bear this in mind.
