Spur for boiler needed - Via junction box or socket?
I am to install central heating in my house and need a single socket
for the boiler to be close to it. Can anyone advise which is the better option - 1) To take a spur from an existing socket on a ring to this additional socket or 2) To take a spur from a junction box intercepting the ring main. I understand from this that I need to remove the sheathing on the cable and strip away some casing to leave about 1/2" of the neutral and live exposed and connect this without cutting the 2 wires. The only wire that needs to be cut in 2 is the earth wire and then linked to the spur. I think the junction box would be the easier option as I could take a feed from the cable in the ceiling as the socket is needed half way up a wall. The socket spur would involve a wire going down from an existing socket into the cellar, along then up the wall. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and many thanks in advance. |
