    electrical outlet

    I want to install an electrical outlet in the yard by the flower bed. Is that possible? If so is there special wires and outlets for this kind of installation?

    Thanks/ray

    It's important to keep it dry. I would bury the wire in EPVC conduit. (#12, black, white, and green- one of each) You can also bury #12-2 UF romex directly without conduit, but be sure it's not in the way of any future digging, etc. (note the UF....this is NOT conventional romex)
    Put the new GFIC plug in a rainproof box.
    That should do it.

      irregularjoe,

      what would be the easiest way to come from the house? I have brick all around.

        where is the main panel located? inside or outside? if it's outside, just go from there with a new breaker. if you have to take it from an inside plug, then you need a masonary bit and a rotary hammer. or a masonary bit and a lot of patience.

            Re: Easy Lite Duo Track F5MA-05. I read that someone purchased the "dimmer Coil" or "debuzzing coil" for this system. Please advise cost and where purchased. Thank you
