Wall Socket choices

just bought unswitched MK wall socket with the earthing terminal which I intend to earth to a copper tube buried somewhere in my garden. Did not cost much but trying out if it helps

hopefully i should get it sorted by next week and will get back with the results

Always good to welcome a qualified electrician to the forum.

Probably better if you keep the details to yourself as less trained people could easily kill themselves.

And Adam will be too busy to moderate for a couple of mins.

He's too busy compiling a list of those who should try these upgrades...

Whenever the phrase - "copper tube buried somewhere in my garden" occurs without being closely followed by "RCD" I worry about the safety of all involved...

It's a bit like "hairdryer" and "bathtub".

I worry more about the emergency services who have to put the bugger out.

Yes sir Adam,

Everybody, before u doing anything on your socket,
please consult with your local qualified electrical engineer.

I get frightened just reading about this stuff. Really.

I wouldn't worry, unless you are a paramedic in his area.

I wouldn't worry, unless you provide insurance in his area.

And exactly where is the earth in all of your houses?

Near the front door.

Next to the ice maker.
