Best type of conduit to use?

Got a job starting soon, installing an outside garden socket, spur from a living room socket.  Living room socket is on adjacent wall, do need to use some conduit, client is fine with this, but I just want some opinions on what would look best above the skirting.  Standard plastic conduit or the smaller ‘D’ shaped conduit?


Also, the outside socket is for a couple of small water features.  The fuseboard is a split RCD 16th edition board, but should I also fit an FCU between the living room socket and new external socket or just a straight spur to new socket?

  • A double pole isolator in the form of a switched fused connection unit is good, or a removable 13 Amp plug, as long as it can be kept out of the rain. Total double pole disconnection is essential when the pond pump gets filled with water and becomes faulty due to old age, thus tripping off the supply circuit and perhaps others of a split load consumer unit. They all always do get filled with water and become faulty......eventually.
