Ring Final Circuit - spurs only

[John-SJW]

I read that it is against the regs that a ring final circuit cannot be just a ring with with spurs off it. In short, a ring must have sockets on it which double up as junctions. I find that hard to believe.

 

[mainline]

Yes.
Unless it's a socket if it is why not call it a socket?

If all double back boxes were replaced with a 2 gang one Fcu and single socket, what would they be called ? Maybe a fcocket ?

You need that explaining to you?

Perhaps you could address all the other unanswered questions?

Fused spur and a socket in one double never seen one of them

Like what?

It's your thread. If you follow the responses people have taken the time to post, they should be apparent.

Yep. A socket is a socket.

 

[DPG]

Yep. A socket is a socket.

Pointless post. Put some effort in John, it's your thread after all

 

[Moley]

Yep. A socket is a socket.

So, a 110v yellow socket is the same as a blue 230v commando socket which therefore is also the same as a bs1363? Bugger, I've been doing it wrong for so long.....

You must have been.

The back box is a dual backbox slightly wider than a standard double back box allowing 2 single face plates to be fitted, be they single socket outlet, flex outlet or FCU.

Or you could use one of these

And have a double socket and a spur

 

[littlespark]

Just thinking about every point being a spur off the rfc, and no actual points as part of the rfc…..

What if you want to add an additional socket or point next to an existing?
You would have to go to the joint box rather than a local socket.
