Direct wiring to FCU

[zooming]

Just a quick question.

I would like to hide the cable of my cd player by putting it in conduit and plaster over, then removing the plug and wiring this directly into a FCU.

Is it legal /safe to wire a cd player directly to a FCU.

Thanks

what sort of CD player is it? hifi seperate? or a walkman? car stereo? computer component?

the best way would be to use white plastic mini trunking, and paint it to match the wall.

A standalone wall mounted CD Player, (similar to hi-fi seperate). No problems with usinging mini-trunking but more concerned with wiring directly into a FCU with the plug. Is it safe/legal?

Thanks

Its perfectly safe (providing a 3A fuse is used), the only issue is portability - most hifi equipment gets moved often enough not to justify permenantly wiring it into the mains. Even wall mounted stuff gets moved. I wouldn't consider a CD player permenant. Its your call though.

Excellent news, thanks for the help. It will be positioned in the garage for a small gym. Over time you end up buying several Cd player (being so cheap) that I have more than one in the house at present, so this one will be staying where it is.

Once again, thanks
