Outdoor socket installation
Can an indoor socket be used in an outdoor enclosure?
Ask the electrician to specify the outdoor arrangement rather than assuming an enclosure makes any accessory appropriate. The complete equipment and installation must be appropriate for its location.

Outdoor socket installation — planning the work
For outdoor socket installation, identify the affected circuit or proposed addition before agreeing work. Existing condition, supply arrangements and testing can influence the specification and the extent of the job.

about this service.
Is a normal indoor socket suitable under an outdoor cover?
A cover alone does not establish that the socket, circuit and cable route are appropriate. Outdoor equipment must be selected for the actual location and exposure.
What should be covered at handover?
Check operation, test results and relevant handover documentation.
