Spur advice

[TonyD11]

Hi There, just want to check something

I want to take a spur off the ring, but then I want to take a spur off the spur, my question is this where do I place a fused outlet, before the first spur or after the first spur?

I need a single socket which will power a washing machine, and the second spur to a double socket for general domestic appliances, but I'm not sure where to place the fused outlet

is this advisable?

Thank in advance

How do you insert them into a wall, where there is a stud in the middle of where the hole is?

Ahhhhh Soz I read the post wrong, i thought the question was "How do put a socket in between studs......" been a long day and I'm so squint if I cry now the tears will run down my back!

Just notch out the timber and screw a metal knock out box to it .

This does not allow more than one spur from that point of the ring

Never liked the ring spur idea, I could overload a double gang socket wired in a single piece of 2.5mm2 t&e spurred from a ring in same, on a 32a mcb. Theoretically!

You are right just one off a ring.

Thinking that perhaps cutting lumps out of a supporting stud wall might not exactly please the building regs police. I'm assuming your using a 25mm back box

yes was in middle of studs, so i take it there is clamps on the boxes like on spot lights. so if you were going to cut plasterboard with skim, which is best tool. and how would feed down past noggin(supporting studs)

 

[malcolmsanford]

On plasterboard boxes yes, as these

Dry Lining Accessory Boxes

Quite often the only way to do it if you can't fish it, is cut notches out of the noggins as you go down and then cover with a metal plate. Not the best way IMO.
