13amp socket for old storage heater

[Martin2102]

Taking a old storage heater off the wall for my brother who would like a single socket in its place.
It has it’s own circuit in the fuse board (b16 breaker)
I know a little about electrics but don’t know if a standard 13amp socket will run off the breaker safely.
Thanks in advance

Is there any truth to the idea that older storage heaters have asbestos in them?

there is, but most were ripped out long ago, i had a look online and theres a database that tells you which ones to look out for

Its fine to change the DP switch to an RCD single socket. A radial circuit off a 16A MCB.
But as others have mentioned, it will be off an off-peak board. So socket will only work between the hours of 12 midnight and 7am

BST means E7 is on between 01.00 and 08.00 at the moment as all E7 meters use GMT, could also be E10 so socket would be on and off all day and night or even Heatwise when the socket would only be good for a set of disco lights
