I'm laying some 1.5mm & 2.5mm 3 core SWA cable into an external IP65 adaptable box. From what I understand I need CW 20s ext. Is this what's listed by screwfix as 20s ip66 ext? What about using IP 68 nylon glands with SWA?

The SWA armour should be glanded with these to allow the armour to be earthed as a safety measure.
Then should someone try to chop the SWA cable with a spade they won't kill themselves.

Some use these with the glad, since the earthing arrangement is easier

Nylon isn't the correct gland and won't allow the SWA armour to be earthed.
