With work in the garden coming to a close I am looking to start the
permanent wiring of the garage. The main cable will pass from the
house through plastic conduit into the garage the conduit being fixed
to a beam above a side gate over a 1.2m path separating the garage
from the house. Question? With the new rules regarding fire
containment within CUs is it permissible to connect PVC conduit and
for that matter PVC trunking directly up to the CU or do any
particular fixings or glands need to be used?

A PVC conduit installation across the gate to the garage CU could result
in build up of condensation that may drip into the garage CU. So either
slope the conduit the correct way or fit some sort of drip tray. This
could be as easy as a conduit T box with an open bottom (no pun
intended) before the garage CU

Other than that I would normally fit a bit of intumescent silicone
around any cables entering the CU.


If the cable is doing as he says and connecting _up_ to the CU surely
this won't be a problem?

But if it's a metaphorical up - why not a drip loop?
