Hello there,
I'd like to wire a small pond pump.
This comes with a 3m flex but it is not long enough for it to reach the house.
I am planning to install a junction box near the pond. I'll be connecting the pump flex to armoured cable running to the back of the house.
Here I'll have another j box where I will connect the armoured cable to another length of flex cable. The flex will be then plugged to a standard 13amp socket indoors. All my indoor sockets are RCD protected but I will also use a plug in RCD adaptor at the socket for extra safety.
Now I'd like to know what is the best make available for the parts I need.
Any specific flex I should use? I'll be drilling one hole in the cavity wall for the flex, do I need to protect this length in conduit?
Thanks for the advice.
