random question

[addi564]

need some help please

I am looking to have some fitted wardrobes fitted, however I have a double socket outlet in the way.

is it possible to convert this to a single outlet on one side while blanking off the other side.

I have been looking around to find such an item but can't find one anywhere.

can somebody please point me in the right direction.

thanks in advance

Rob

Hi,

My random answer is to move the socket.

Are you a electrician?

Best to move it, shouldn't be too much of a problem the fitted wardrobe would cover the mess. obviously use a mf joint

I'd find out who put the socket in that stupid place right where you want to put your wardrobes and get him/her to move it..............

 

[addi564]

no I am not an electrician

just move socket over 100mm (or get electrician to will save you a world of trouble and hassle, far easier than what you said

no :smiley2:

moving would be an option however was after a cost effective way of doing it and require one side of the outlet to power a tv. the wardrobe installer who claimed to of been an electrician in the past said the best option was to have a blanking plate on one side and a single socket on the other side.

I personally have never seen such an item however if they do exist it would be nice to know

 

[stuartcourt]

you could chase in wall a dual ko box and do this but cost and time would be more than shifting over a tad

 

[telectrix]

agreed. for the time and effort of chasing in a dual box, easier to move socket over.

so my only real option is to get a sparky to move it over for me.

They do exist its a 2gang dual patress box.

No idea what the question is haha, but worzol is right there are dual pattrices, very common.
