Hello, first post!
Im redoing my kitchen, and along with this would like to tidy up the bodged wiring and add a socket.
Here is a current diagram of how it looks, the orange lines is the ring circuit T&E.
I would like to replace all cable apart from the one that is adjoining connected to the Consumer unit. Add a new 1Gang socket, and put cables in safe zones. How does this look, in terms of conforming to the regs.
The cables above the worktops are chased in plaster and the ones below are tacked to the wall behind the kitchen base units.
If I read correctly, the work that i propose is non-notifiable and possible by a DIYer since the 2013 Part P changes. Can you confirm?
Here is some pictures of how I found it, for context. This is the left side of the diagram:
This is half of the right side of the diagram.
Many thanks.
It's difficult to disagree with that. As I see it, the only possible advantage is the CPC redundancy, and that is at least partially cancelled by the 'risk' of an unnoticed break in the L and/or N rings.Nevertheless, with regard to a recent post, this ........ is a perfect example of a totally pointless ring final circuit.
Are you referring to the six sockets which you can see, or what?There are six points that i can see ?
Join the confused clubI'm confused. Are they points or sockets?
