To everyone offering advice genuinely appreciate this but can’t understand the ficxation of the T&E….its raining here, pitch black the location of the wall is in a bed of plants and muddy otherwise I’d go out and take a photo….the cable to put everyone mind at rest is still working and fine but...

Pete01 thanks that’s clearly the most obvious and what I think I may have to do, I was trying to avoid another unnecessary connection and I’m also a believer in using the gel in the boxes to maintain the IP rating but taking SWA direct to the switch would negate this….but I’m thinking the same...

Sunray thanks for the response but I was hoping to get advice from someone proficient and experienced in using SWA not someone whos seen it on their travels….not meant to sound condescending or rude but if you’ve only “seen” external cabling on your travels maybe not the person I’m looking for...

No I’ve probably overcomplicated the question…..simple terms can SWA outer sheath and the armour be terminated as normal at a adaptable box but the inner cores be left long enough to go through the wall into the interior of the house and taken direct to the switch but capped and buried in the...

Missed that this cable simply feeds some garden lights, max combined wattage is less than 30w. Inner core would be through the wall in conduit, internal capping will be steel prior to filling. Internal routing is horizontal within the 150mm proscribed zone of the wall corners

I have a dedicated radial circuit on a 6amp MCB with RCD protection feeding an internal switch by the front door. First switch is for override of a PIR for external door lights and 3soffit lights. Permanent live at first rocker provides a jumper to rocker 2 that provides twin and earth out the...

Hi Terry thank you for the response it was serviced several months ago...... update, I have removed the expansion vessel cleaned it out to remove any sludge (bit of black water only in it, used the car tyre inflator to .85 bar (says .75 on the vessel) and have it back on the boiler now just...

if its relevant the boiler is a system boiler NOT a combi

Seeking ideas.... System is a Viessmann Vitodens 100-W WB1B regularly serviced. Boiler, pressurised to 1bar when cold, filling loop is always disconnected. This provides hot water (no problems) and heating is via a single output in 22mm and T's into two two port valves, one serves downstairs UFH...
