My mates just moved in to a new place and has one of these on the outside wall that the previous guy had fitted. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Masterplug-Weatherproof-Outdoor-Mains-Power-Kit-Twin-Socket-RCD-Protected-Plug-/400781158453 my questions are Are these legal to fit yourself? Don't you...

not a spark, but why not get something like this and then drill a hole through the garage for the cable?[/url]

to be fair to them, I know that they didnt wire that socket in, but they did add 3 additional sockets to that room and have been underneather the floor. I know for a fact that they had been round and checked every socket in the house checking the wiring in each. So I'm surprised that they...

yeap I already have disconnected it as far as I can tell it is a ring main have traced the cable throughout and its on a 30a mcb will have to find a new spark now tho, as I don't totally trust the ones who did the work before

Just changing some sockets as the old ones are unswitched (which I hate) and got to one that has 3 wires going into each terminal. Which I thought was strange as I couldnt work out where the spur would be running to, so I had a route around under the floor to find that the cable was about a...

turns out I had room in the end for a double socket, so problem solved

might go down the spur route then just to make it a little easier with the cable runs cheers guys

was going to be running a hair dryer and straighteners from these 2 sockets... no issue with either of these on a spur is there??

I did think about that, but I thought seeing as I was going to the effort of adding 2 sockets I might as well have them both part of the ring

yes this is just diagramatic, the cables will just be straight up and down

it won't be my problem later (hopefully) :lol:

I'm short on space so need to have 2 single sockets, one above the other. The cable (green line) from socket 2 at the top needs to drop straight down to get back to the ring, is it ok to run the cable through socket 1's pattress box?

not sure what the current cable is then as it connected to a standard plug, which is then plug into a RCD plug

I need 20m of cable with a maximum size of 1.5mm (as otherwise it wont fit in my pond switch box) All the armoured garden power cable that you can buy from the pond retailers costs £80-100, hence why I was looking at conduit also I'm sure I read somewhere that armoured cable cant be...

its just standard twin and earth. one end has a plug (which is fitted to a rcd plug) and the other end is fitted to a external weatherproof box (not sure what IP rating it is)

can anyone recommend some decent (but fairly inexpensive) conduit that I can use to bury my existing pond cable into the ground? The current cable is just attached to a wall, but I would like to bury it out of sight thanks

Can someone give me a rough idea of how much sand I would need to make a sand bed for paving slabs for a shed base I'm getting a 12 x 6 ft shed, depending on what size slabs I get (400mm or 450mm) the area covers by the slabs will be either 8m2 or 9.11m2 and I want to lay a 4cm bed of sand...

hi just want a bit of advice have a digital aerial mounted in my loft, it has 1 cable running down that is plugged into a tv with built in freeview. I'm getting a couple more tvs for round the house and want to split the aerial signal between these other tvs (1 of them has built in...

what about if I ran 2.5 twin and earth cable from the existing socket to this and then run to this. Then plug my 6 way into it. Or is this overkill or dangerous?? Cheers Rob

I didnt realise that you could spur off a spur as long as it was a fused one!
