Hi,

I have a ring main in my kitchen with 7 double sockets with a spur for
an under unit light. My questions is can I take a spur off 2 of the
double sockets to create 2 more double sockets?

The ring main goes back to my consumer unit which has a 32 amp fuse.

I need the spurs to relocate some of my applicence therefore not all of
the sockets will be used at the same time.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Cheers,

James

As I understand it, you can only have a single fitting off a spur. So
/two/ double sockets on one spur is out.

One double on each of two different sockets should be OK.

The latter is what I understood to be the OP's intention ...

I thought so too - which was why mentioned it!

All seems a bit silly these days when most people have at least a dozen
things plugged in behind their tv and computer

Ah, but that's done with dodgy socket strips, so it's OK.

Yes this is what I was looking to do. One double as a spur off of two
different sockets on the ring main.

Cheers for all the comments,

James

Of course, if they are not far apart, and it's easy to run a cable
between them, just incorporate them into the ring...
