Hi,
I've been laying some 2.5mm t&e in the accessible cavity of my conservatory dwarf wall to extend the main house socket ring for 3 x double sockets in the conservatory.
This cable sits 100mm into the cavity insulation. Am I right in thinking that unless it was in a duct, it needs to be downrated to 16amps. I'd expect there to be a minimal load in the conservatory, so will I be alright leaving it as is. I could get back into the cavity and put it in flexible conduit, although it will require a bit of effort to revive the window boards that have been temporarily fixed.
Also, I was going to add a MK Masterseal Plus single socket. Is it preferable to add this to the ring or take as a spur. I can do either but not sure whether there is enough room in these boxes to get the two cables connected into the socket.
Any views much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Damian
p.s. I will be looking to get a local electrician to make the final connections, etc.
