Sockets/FCU from a spurred socket

[kevmcdo8]

Due to access and location. It it possible to replace a spurred socket with an unswitched FCU, then run a socket, a switched FCU (to supply a cooker hood) and another two sockets in parallel. Kitchen ring is on a 32amp MCB, 2.5mm (and currently has 6 double sockets (including the one that's spurred).

Thanks in advance.

All things are possible- your plan will also be compliant BUT if you're adding new sockets/devices the cabling must be protected by an RCD (assuming you're going to bury it in the wall)- best place to do this is at the consumer unit. Also be aware of safe zones for your new cabling/sockets.

Forgot to add that the circuit is RCD protected.

Happy days- just safe zones to consider then . Consider the planned use for the sockets- if you're going to make a mess of the plaster by chasing it would be tempting to extend the ring (and obviate any potential issues from simultaneous kettle and toaster on the 13A fuse in the FCU)

Thanks again been a great help!
