- Installation of an outdoor Click AquIP weatherproof socket.
I installed the socket to be used mainly for house lights at Christmas time and maybe the odd time i use the pressure washer.
Remember, i'm not a qualified electrician but i am competent at installing the odd bit of hardware like this. When Sean, my electrician comes in a few weeks, i'll ask him to give the connections a once over if he feels necessary.
Apologies for the SO's and RIGHT SO's, i promise i'll get better at all this UA-cam speaking malarkey!

Awesome video mate, better job than most sparks 👌🏻
Ah, gees, thanks mate!
@@thegingershedman you’re welcome my friend
WHERE IS THE RUBBER GASKET
I DIDN'T PUT IT ON
Nice job Deano 👌🏼
Cheers mate!
It's a bit low. Don't bash it with a mower or something.
A mower? How would I do that, I've no grass? 😂 Thanks for watching!
@@thegingershedman
Any heavy object. Your boot, anything. I mean its vulnerable that low
Thanks for your concern but honestly it's fine. Never once been kicked, knocked, fallen over, dog peed on etc but I'll keep my eye on it 👍🏻

No concern from me. Just an observation. Having said that, when/if you sell the house the new owners will also have a very low outside socket to avoid.
If it were me, I'd have also run upward to a less vulnerable, easier to access height. But I'm not you, your decision, your choice, just an observation.
Yup, cheers 👍🏻
What is the rating of the rcbo because if it is more than 16a you will need a cable bigger than 2.5mm. Apart from that a nice neat job .
Hi Les, thanks for the comment, I appreciate your feedback. I've checked with my electrician and pased your comments to him and he assures me that all is legit and perfectly fine. Thanks again!
It’s on a 20amp by look of it so 👌🏻
