In this video Paul shows you how to fit an IP66 rated weatherproof 240V/220V 13A double switched outside socket and wire it yourself.
He followed the instructions supplied with the kit.
The cable is 1.5mm square, twin and earth as normally used in 4 gang extensions leads.
After drilling the back of the casing and feeding the cable through it is then sealed with silicone sealant.
The hole drilled through the brick/block wall was done from the outside, inwards and at a slight angle upwards. When the cable was passed through the hole, it was then sealed with an acid/ammonia free silicone sealant. Please make sure before you drill that there is no pipework or electrics on or in the wall.
The waterproof double outside socket extension cable was fitted with a 3 pin 13A fused plug so it can be plugged in and out as needed.
When in use the cable is plugged into a 2 gang switched fused socket board which is part of a 6mm square T&E spur from the domestic supply in the home protected by a 32A RCD/RCB.
The earth/ground is attached inside to the casing so in the event of water getting inside it will trip the circuit.
If you are not familiar with wiring or electrics then please employ the services of a qualified electrician.
Tools needed.
Tape measure, Marker/Sharpie, Bubble/Spirit level, Hammer, Drill and drill bits, Screwdrivers, Rawl plugs, Screws, Stanley/Box Knife and a length of electric cable.
Think safety. Wear eye and ear protection.
Make sure the electric cable is not live when wiring.
Do not attempt to wire this socket if you are unsure.
Voltages and wiring colours vary from country to country.
The end result is in effect a weatherproof outside extension with a 13A fused plug lead for extra safety.
