Hi Adam. Sorry you're feeling poorly. The thumbnail for this vid is excellent. Your energy in this vid (despite feeling poorly) was super. The installation of the cable and plugs was brilliant. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
I find that sometimes it is better to be out in the fresh air. As per the other comments, I would be careful with the earthing arrangements if the socket is for the use of a caravan. You could always see if you can TT the garage board.
Technically using a metal bush and coupler these are exposed conductive parts and should therefore be earthed. Agree with others reference protective device and earth rod. Section 7 bs7671 applies and part p for a new circuit in a special location.
Not really any point as it’s plastic boxes with an earth comming from the armouring on the cable so you’ll still have protection as it comes from the main db
It becomes an extraneous metal part which needs to be connected the protective conductor just in case one of the live conductors inside of your fixture becomes dislodged and makes contact with the coupler
A tidy installation but as a DIYer and caravan owner even I can see problems with this installation. The house earth should not be exported, a caravan hook up point needs to have its own earth rod. The supply cable should be protected by a MCB at the main board, the socket should be protected by its own 16A MCB and RCD or a 16A RCBO. Section 708 and 721 of BS7671.
This isn’t correct. The requirements you’re referring to is for caravan sites where the connection to the supply is at a standalone socket for each pitch. What Adam has done here is just an outdoor socket, one double socket one commando socket.
Should be no greater than a 16a RCBO as it's a 16a socket. The customer's motorhome hook up cable can't take 20a. There's nothing waterproof with that bush & coupler. Disappointed to see this.......

Good job, well done. Hope that you're feeling better now.

Get well soon! If you lived closer, I'd offer to take care of you. Nice job done, as always.
Sorry to see you've been sick. Nice vid Ad. Take care

As previously mentioned earth rod as a caravan hook up, and shouldn’t a 16A socket be protected by a 16A RCBO for overload protection?
A interesting video, very neat work. Look after yourself get well soon.
If its pme house end you might need another look mate, neat job though 👍
Absolutely mint👌
🤙
I did say your going to need a bigger van 😂
Get into the habit of using IP washers when installing stuff outside. For Glands etc.
Hope you are feeling better Adam
I take it the property was TT or TN-S or you would need a separate earth rod for a motor home hookup?
Tidy job
Great video. Just curious, would it be worth running a CPC to the coupler? I’m doing my L3 so just interested to hear yours/others thought.
Cheers and nah I wouldn’t bother

I am apprentice myself but i would put cables in from the bottom not side due to rain , I know its sealed but better be safe than sorry 😉
Is your intro music resident evil?😅
tidy job mate

In my experience as long as there is built in pen protection it shouldnt require a seperate rod

Are u registered with napit like nick?
Are you NAPIT/niceic registered?
Where is nick
Adam has his own company and work now. He does stuff with Nick occasionally but self employed life at this point!
