You could fill all the spare breaker slots on the CU and have two 1 metre

You can totally replace an existing ring main if it is defective. So you
can redirect an existing ring main right back to the CU breaker as it was
"defective".

It says that you can replace a damaged cable.

Theoretically, all the cable segments
in a ring could be damaged, but
it's a bit unlikely, isn;t it?

If one is down then the lot gets replaced.

It is one more reason why the whole thing, like most of this kind of
legislation, is a nonsense.

(iii) installing or upgrading main or

I thought adding socket outlets and spurs was not allowed under the
new
regs, but this says otherwise. Except for a kitchen.

Yep. You are right. So anything goes as long as it is not in a
kitchen
or
"special location", whatever that is.

I can see why they homed in on kitchen. This is to prevent cowboy
kitchen
fitters slapping cables all around the place. That MPs daughter who
died
probably prompted this.

Entirely possible but completely flawed.

Now where are the regs that say a replacement cylinder needs the BCO
involved?


Part L1 IIRC.
