I would like to add a socket (only single needed) and a washing machine point in our untilty room.
I am aware I can take a single spur from a socket on the main ring to supply a single, double or triple socket or FCU for a subcercuit for eg a washing machine.
I am also aware I cannot spur off a spur (ie feed FCU off spurred double socket.)
This seems odd considering a triple could be drawing more power along the spur than a single socket and 13A FCU. But I'm not arguing with Part P
The space available to me for mounting the above is limited and a 2G unit would be perfect.
I am aware you can get a 45A dp cooker switch with an integal socket. Obviously I can't supplu the machine with one of them. But does anyone know if there is a switched FCU (neon preferable) with 13A socket on the market?
If not I can only assume I will have to run two spurs (each from a different point on the ring). And mount two 1G units (which will take more room than a 2G
Is this correct, can anyone think of another way round?
THanks
Tom
