Outside socket on a spur

[Deleted member 26818]

Hi Telectrix Thanks for that advice but were i to do that surely i would then be altering an old install and making it "illegal" my plan was to disconnect the extra double sockets which are connected after the original spaur part before selling the place thereby "keeping it right " to my non spark eyes.In the mean time the sockets are in use for devices that probably draw 5amps max between them & i am the only one living there.
Or should i bite the bullet and disconnect the spurred spur thing now and use an extension lead tp power this kit whats best ?

There is nothing illegal with altering or adding to old or existing installations.
I obviously don't know how old the existing installation is, but having more than one double socket on an unfused spur from a ring final circuit has not been compliant with the Regulations for about 30 years.
Installing an FCU between the ring and the first spurred socket would make the circuit more compliant, and as long as the work is not within a kitchen, would not require notification under Part P.
