that's how i'd do it.Wago connectors in the original back box to extend new cables to the new face plate if needed.
Correct.So, just to confirm, I should wire the new socket in as normal using just one of the earth ports for the existing earth cable. Then I should run a separate cable from the other earth port on the new socket back to the metal back box? And I can definitely ignore the earth port on the new plastic pattress box?
Thanks
Correct.
Does it not have a small terminal on it.
party pooper.Be touchable when someone knocks the new plastic surface box off the wall.
RuFF... RuFF.Well you could use one of the old face plate fixing points with a small eyelet crimp.
I'd agree....why not pay an electrician to come in and do a proper job, ensuring you and your family are not put at risk?
Because I'd rather not be charged £50 to have 3 wires connected for me. Now that it has been explained to me it seems very simple.
