Hi all,
Is it good practice in a new kitchen install to have fused spurs for each appliance, (washing machine, fridge, dishwasher)? If so, would they be 13A fuses? Thanks.
Nick
I would like to know if when running spurs that I can run the cables horizontally.I know that it is isn't good practice but I've check the regs but still not sure, asked other sparks but seem to get contradictions in advice.
Would appreciate any advice.
Your thoughts gentlemen please.

Double socket, spur down to single socket for fridge.
Spur also from same double socket to SFCU for boiler.
So, in effect, 4 cables into back of double socket.
Any reason why not?

Hello all.....
Have any of you had any dealings with rcd fused spurs?
should they have the same triping features etc as C/U rcds? ie 0.4s, the one I have installed is a 30m/a one.
I have not fitted one of these before so would be interested in your views and opinions.
thanks, Ross.
Can someone help me?

:confused: Hello all,
I am a gas fitter and a domestic installer (limited scope) and was wondering what testing i have to do to install a spur (to fit a boiler) to a previously installed ring. Do i have to test the ring from the start as if i have installed it myself?
Can anyone guide me. I am looking for a spur for a ventelation unit in a devlopment that has a "secret" switch..i.e a keyed switch. To allow maintenanve to switch off for servicing.
I had searched for a product to no avail...anybody out there know of any?
Thanks
