Thanks for that Cozycats :) I'll just keep it to the two sockets, it'll be a case of either or anyway. I have two lights fitted from the CU, with the neutral picked up from inside the metalclad switch. I wondered if it would be ok to take another feed from the 6amp MCB to feed a couple of...

Hello All, I wondered if anyone could shed some light on my garage installation. I've used the now redundant cooker radial (6mm) to feed the garage, I've also replaced the 32amp (cooker)MCB with a 16amp one (on the non RCD side)in the house CU. the ex cooker (6mm) cable goes directly to a...

Hi, and thank you for that! I've got my dual box now, some conduit and the two single sockets. Sometimes things are so obvious you can't see them. :oops: Ta very much!!

Thanks for that JohnD, I was thinking along those lines myself (dual box). that would give me a more secure place to store my either crimp or 30A connection block to complete the ring. Cheers

Hi, the circuit is like this at the moment And I'd like to change it to this to put it on the ring Any advice would be welcome as to if this would be acceptable or not. Thanks in advance Parrotboy

Hello All, I've had a good look through the forum and cant find the answer to my questions. Can anyone tell me what size heatshrink I should buy to use on 2.5mm cable (for use with blue 32amp butt connectors) And also is there a minimum distance sockets should be away from each other on a...

Hi Dellsmp, I was thinking of using blue butt connectors and ratchet crimps to do this The new circuit would follow the dotted line (plenty room behind the plasterboard) The blue butt connectors are rated at 27amps would this be okay?? Ta very much Ps those undies have turned all my...

Thanks for that crafty, next project is sort out the spur with the two spurs off it (in the kitchen again). Again its behind platerboard, so access shouldn't be too bad

Made a mistake with the diagram, the spur socket now comes from the new double socket on the far left

Hi crafty, Thanks for the quick response, I've had a change round and made it a little neater. I didn't like the idea of the JB's either. I've checked and double checked the connections too Cheers Parrotboy

Hello All, I hope that someone can shed some light on my Kitchen woes. I have just moved to a 1970's bungalow, all the wiring is PVC, it has a new Consumer Unit fitted which has been tested by a qualified sparky, as have the sockets. My question is about what seems to be an unconventional...
