I have an existing double switched socket for my firdge/freezer and
dishwasher. I want to put the fridge freezer close to the wall so want
to replace the socket with a flex output. I have some MK already for
the extractor fan and another for the under cupboard lighting but
these areboth singles.
Is there a double version where I can simple replace the double socket
with a double flex output? This would avoid me having to knock out
space for 2 singles and ring them.


Assuming unswitched FCUs are ok you could do it using grid components.


They will have to be switched so that I can turn off the dishwasher as
if it were in a socket and to isolate the fridge freezer if required.
so it needs the equivalent of a switched and fused cover plate with
two swiches/fuses but ideally connected inside the same way as a
double socket. The only alternative is to widen the twin box to hold 2
singles and ring them together with the rest of the circuit.. I'll
have a look aty the site you suggested anyway. Thanks
