I'd like to get some clarification about adding some outdoor sockets.
I have a socket which is on the ring main (downstairs circuit) so I was thinking of taking a spur off this socket, through the wall and then put a weatherproof FCU on the other side.
Then from this FCU run conduit to each socket (also weatherproof) required.
Does this sound ok? There are seperate circuits for the kitchen sockets and tv sockets so the actual downstairs ring is barely used for anything, and they will only be for occasionaly use, nothing permanent.
One electrician talked about putting a round junction box when the spur comes out but surely that's a bit pointless? Why not go straight into the back of an FCU? Another one was talking about fusing after one of the sockets.
Maybe the electricians have made some assumptions or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about!
