sockets

[s.keech]

Hi can 2 bedroom sockets be run off a kitchen if marked on the C.U. ?

I presume you mean as a spur? What is the cable size of the existing circuit? Is it an RFC?

 

[frontier219]

Also, I'm not sure what marking it on the CU would achieve?

Circuit description so you know its not just the kitchen sockets.

call it sockets, they will know which one it is when it trips

Ohhh. Brain not functioning correctly - I genuinely thought the OP was referring to some sort of warning sign to get around spurring more than one DSO off a 2.5 Ring...

previous park has left a 2.5 cable running from kitchen into bedroom as rooms have been rearranged. Can sockets in bedroom comply with regs ?

I think it's R A F mate. Why not come from the circuit that serves that area?

I'm not sure, I'm not psychic.

Has he spurred them directly from another socket or through an FCU? Is the kitchen circuit definitely an RFC? This is a pretty basic question mate...

How do you know the bedroom in question isn't next door to the kitchen? Could be a flat!

It could well be but even if it is there will be (or should be) a circuit which serves that area.

Which means nothing.

I think you need to expand on the "issue"!

I am trying to tell customer that the 2 extra bedroom sockets should be done by extending ring but he reckons its ok to run sockets off a 2.5 cable that has somehow come from kitchen. If it is marked on cu that kitchen sockets and 2 bedroom sockets does this comply with bgb

 

[telectrix]

if you're running 2 sockets on a single 2.5mm, you'll need to fit a FCU, irrespective of whether bedroom sockets from the kitchen circuit is good practice or not.

Are you qualified? Because I wouldn't let a customer tell me how to interpret the regulations surrounding my job.
