I have a double socket in my new bathroom(for boiler) and need to remove it in exchange for a flex outlet. Adding cable through wall behind double socket for switched spur, instead of bathroom outlets.

Can you buy flex outlets as doubles, as I need to blank off one side of the double socket? The other side for boiler flex.

I don't think so - at least I've not seen any.

Might be best to change back box for a dual and then fit two plates.

Presumably you're aware of 'zones' in bathroom where you can and can't put accessories?

The boiler is inside a wooden cabinet, so this should satisfy the regulations I would hope.
Apart from that I am doing something other house holders would just leave because it works already!
 
Or boilers, for that matter...

Thats not a very constructive comment. When did I say I was digging around inside the boiler??? derr!

Too many hang-overs during a bank holiday me thinks?


I did not say you were.

I was hoping that your boiler was a suitable IP rating for mounting in bathrooms, many are not and some are not recommended for siting in cupboards either.

Manufacturers will tell you if it suitable for its location.

As for "derr", what a nice man you are. Kindly leave your offensive comments in your mind.

My applogies, I took the defensive position because of my experience in the plumbing & heating forum (which is a brutal place)!
