    2 spurs coming from the same socket - NOT a spur from a spur!

    Hello all.. I have recently added a spur for a customer and it got me thinking again about how many spurs could I actually take from the same socket! The only socket I could use to take the spur from was on the ring and was already feeding a spur. Now I could have extended the ring but after a...

    Socket spur

    Had a ring circuit with a spur feeding a 2 gang socket coming directly from the 32a mcb. Ring main has since been stripped out and just left with the spur. I have now fitted a 2 gang socket in 4mm directly below the cu, is it still acceptable to leave the 2.5 spur coming off the same 32a mcb?
