I've installed a duplex recept. on a post near where the pool pump will plug in.
First Question: I've run 3/4" Liquid Tite for the supply from the panel and it's buried about 12 inches. I told the electrical supply house I bought the wire from what I had and he gave me 12-2 NM w/G . Is this wire suitable since it is in the Liquid Tite? I've read that NM is not for outdoors. This will make me mad if I have to re-run it before inspection.
Second question: The receptacles on the post are not GFCI but the breaker is. I was told that a grounding rod at the post would not be a bad idea so I installed one. I will be running the grounding wire from the rod and clamp up the post through conduit, to the receptacle box. Inside the box is where I'd like to make the joint connection between the two ground wires but I don't know if that is up to code or not. If this is okay, how do I attach the larger ground wire from the rod to the the smaller ground wire sheathed with the 12-2? Do I even need the extra ground rod?
Thanks for any advice.
