Hi guys,

doing up the garden and the oil tank has been moved to the far right corner... i have soil all around it and going across the back wall etc etc...

I buried a nymj in wavin 2foot and ran it to the back wall behind the oil tank...

Is it acceptable to have a junction box/outside light connection (low voltage) in a fully sealed outdoor box? The all plastic 6 screw on the front panel type of one...

Theres about a 1foot of a gap behind the tank, maybe a bit more.. It will be positioned not directly behind it but close to it... offset centre...

Is all this ok or what should i do? Putting the box somewhere else will be a horrid eyesore...

regards
