I would like add an additional double socket in my lounge as a spur off of my current one.
I have an unused coaxial tv socket next to it which would be an ideal location as this will never be used in the future.
I would be getting an electrician to do this, but what do I get him to do with the coaxial wire that will be left in the dry wall ? Does it need to be capped off or does it just sit inside the wall not causing a problem ? Or do I get a connector put on it as if it were going into a tv, just sitting in the wall, rather than the bare wire ?
One of the new sockets will be to feed an outside socket for a string of fairy lights around fence and for pressure washer etc.
Do I need to do this from a rcd inside socket or not needed as I have rcds on the consumer unit ?
And with regard to max power on the spur, does the new and spur share 13amp max or is it 13amp for each.
Sorry for all the questions but only a lay person, hence why I will get it installed by a professional.
