Spur off a spur ??

[stolt]

hi there, trying to give us much info to make it easier to give me advice.

I have a utility room which has a double socket which has another double spur'd off it.

On the other side of the wall is a downstairs toilet that i want to fit a single socket in some boxing which will have a under cabinet mood light.

The pictures below are of the utility room and i want the socket on the far wall on the other side of that wall.




On the other side of the bathroom i want to put a socket which will not be used all the time, it will be in coat cupboard and i was just going to put a plug in light to help us see in the dark, plus my missus can use it for when shes hoovering.

Can i put a spur off the spur on that double if at first i put a fuse switch and then from that fuse switch can take the wire off into a single socket and then from that off into the double. neither sockets will be used for anything heavy duty.

I've tried to explain it better by drawing it on picture. Hopefully this all makes sense





There are no other sockets near to either room, other than a extractor fan which i think will be removed when the downstairs bathroom is done.

thanks for taking the time to read through

put your fused spur before the first socket

Are you a qualified electrician and able to carry out a MWC?

Simple answer - Yes, if you go from a socket on the ring to a fcu and from there to another 2 sockets it is ok.

Hi thanks for replying, i thought you were going to say that, trouble is where those two double sockets are going, its going to be tiled so didnt want any other sockets there, i could bring the fused spur down behind a cupboard and then take the 3 spur'd sockets from there? does that make sense

so if i put a fused switch after the first double socket and then i can put spur each of the three sockets from each other thats ok?


FCU - fused?

Fcu is fused connection unit, put it before the first spurred socket outlet.
Ring > fcu > spurred socket

What's that white box thingy next to the first socket that's strapped on with banding?
That looks like it should be accessible when the room is tiled.

Ring > fcu > spurred socket

thanks so the double socket thats off the ring stays where it is, then my fused switch, and then my sockets can be spurred from one another, pretty simple, i havent got to put a fused switch before each socket have i? lol

thanks for the advice.

we had a electrician put in one of those grid switches which houses all the fused switches for the washing machine and sockets below, i think that white box is terminating some wiring.


just had a thought in that grid box theres a spare 13a fused module in it, can that be used for my sockets rather than put my fused switch in between the sockets?

Number of sockets on the spur is limited by load and diversity.

well on one i'm only going to have one of those mood lighting bars under recess in some boxing in, the other will have a plug in light that will only be on when someones looking for there shoes or coat. so nothing heavy
