Spec for greenhouse electical fittings
Hi all
I've tried Google on this one with no luck - sorry if it's been raised before, I must have used the wrong search terms... I am about to get an electricity supply to my greenhouse. The actual connection work will be done by a qualified electrician but he has never worked on a greenhouse before and can't really advise on the best standard for fittings. My Screwfix catalogue has weatherproof fittings to IP55 and IP66, and the IP55 looked OK to me...but when I went to the local electrical supply shop they had a lot of other IP ratings, leaving me confused. I have now checked the HSE document explaining the IP system so I see what the numbers mean... But what is the most appropriate for a greenhouse? I suppose few people go for IP66 which requires the use of special plugs to ensure waterproofness (?). Also - any tips on locating the sockets? How many (know I'll be using fan heater, soil cables, light)? Ways of fixing in an aluminium greenhouse? Ta in anticipation Michael S ps about to become a dad any day now so sorry if I disappear from any discussion! |
