I've had a gas fire removed and we want to replace it with a modern electric one.
The gas fire had a FCU for the electronic ignition and I want to change this to a single socket to plug the electric fire in.
But I've since found the FCU has been spurred off a nearby double socket in 1mm T&E.
The length of 1mm is less than 1M and it's buried in plaster - no conduit. I believe this is method C and so the 1mm cable can carry 16A?
Can somebody please confirm this is correct and so the cable will be ok if I replace the FCU with a single socket?
Thank you
