In this video I install an electrical socket on the outside of the property. Electrical sockets are very useful outside and are great for plugging in power washers or lawn mowers etc. It is important to ensure that any socket installed outside is RCD protected, as it could save your life in the event of an accident. The sockets in this video are all quality ones, which are made by British General (BG), they even make a socket with a built in RCD, should you need one.

Just did that last week with same BG socket - only thing I did which I shouldn’t have was screw through the interval 4 black gaskets - didn’t realise they were just to cover the screws lol I shouldn’t have read the manual!
Hi which sealant did you use around the pipe?
You didn’t drill out the drain holes
Thank you, very well done and informative video. I liked the look of your wire stripers, can you please tell me the brand / model. Thanks.
Hi, I want to build a small deck outside my man cave. I already have up lights outside. I want to put deck lights in the decking. I probably want the deck lights to come on when the outside lights come on. I was thinking of conecting a socket to that ligjt circuit to plug in the deck lights. I was thinking of putting the socket under the deck with an access panel bit now after your vid im thinking of putting on the outside cladding. Please advise, I trust your judgement and I'm one of your subs. Great work as always.
Great video...Is this a safe enough to plug in a hot tub...as I know extension leads are dangerous..Thanks
Hi, I found this very helpful, I need a socket in the garden, down the bottom of the garden which is quite a way. I was thinking one of these would be handy. But I don't know what I need - but this was helpful, You should list at the bottom of your videos what you bought and used.
# Is this for UK
# What cable is needed to extend down to the bottom of the garden.
# Will I be able to feed the electric cable down a plastic pipe.
# Plus, I notice you don't want to blow the brick outside, but you didn't say how you drilled in from both sides when you can't see where the inside drill is appearing outside. How do you do that ?
thanks
Cushty! Just fitted the same box to my outside wall to run our new water feature. Followed your instructions to the letter and it's now burbling away beautifully. Nice and simple for an idiot like me and I didn't electrocute myself once. Thank you! Oh and I didn't get brickwork burst. More luck than judgement because I forgot to turn the hammer action off.......;-)
Stupid question is only protected by the 13amp. If your using 2 devices st once outside would it not need a 26amp fuse or a spur?
Instead of using a plug to the indoor socket, could I just split off the live, neutral and earth inside the socket so that I can still use the socket indoors (leaving the outdoor socket live)?
Obviously bearing in mind not to overload the socket.
Thanks
