I wish to conceal a simple 230 mains volt Garden water feature cable underground. If only armoured cable can be buried underground, how can this be achieved?

Hi Norman, The armoured cable would need to be buried and then close to the point of termination to the water feature, you would need to make the connection of the supplied flex, to the armoured cable inside an IP65 or higher rated enclosure (use a compression gland on the flex to keep the integrity of the weatherproof enclosure). This enclosure could be buried to hide it away. This work falls under building control regulations and should notified to local building control office or be completed by a registered tradesman and certified.
