I'm putting a wireless controller outside. Coming off a spare mcb on protected side. Using 4mm to an isolator then above damp course to outside wiska box to terminate to 4mm swa. My question is I'll be using the earth glands to connect the armour to the cpc but with these attached can you still connect conduit? It's more for cosmetic reasons as I don't like the look of swa running down a wall. Will a wiska aperture allow the gland unit and conduit nut to fit togther?

Picture or diagram of what you intend to do as your description is a little hard to grasp
 
Do you need to use SWA if you are using conduit?
What Type of conduit are you using?
 
Yes because the thread is still on the box, assuming you are using pvc conduit just fit a male box coupler.
 
@telectrix - I take it your bored? (2 posts deleted)
It would be appreciated if you didn't start derailing threads with video posts etc, I see the OP has posted a reasonable question and expect he is not looking to be mocked for the level of said query, it is clear by his profile he is not a DIYer but just out of his comfort zone. :)

Very true on that. I'm an aircraft spark by trade and now industrial elect so don't come into domestic stuff really with the regs. As I haven't used wiska boxes before as I normally just use galvanised boxes. I wanted to be clear before I start and get the stuff. Plush don't want it to look crap

For a customer?
 
Just to clarify, are you intending to use plastic or metal conduit?
