Yes, why not ?With all 3 doubles on it?
\Is is not ideal to have immersions on a ring final but they are nearly always on the lightly loaded bedroom circuit. Can only assume the 20A was put on because it wasn't switched through a FCU?
They are going to have a combi fitted so spur being removed. Also populated cu so can split this ring to feed 2 x bed sockets only and use the return to go on an 6 amp rcbo and put the outside light on there own curcuit . PS my name is Kevin and im a kitchen fitter .Why not put a FCU on the immersion so you can upgrade to 32A.
So you hate them because somebody poorly installed one?Absolutely hate them! Can't see a place for them in a domestic situation.
Have spent 6 hours this week repairing one. ( boiler mounted over socket with broken
CPC + multiple non-compliant spurs)
I ve got another 3 to repair on other jobs - can't wait!
So you hate them because somebody poorly installed one?
Yeah I hate lighting circuits cos I found a metal switch that wasn't earthed.
I for one do not understand this thread, RFC are the recognised circuit,been going for decades.Is the dislike just pure laziness.?Is the today Electrician unable to fault such a circuit or even able to install it.? This is annoying me big time."!!
I read your OP, they weren't even about in 1949, it was all radials 15amp at that, with electric trees growing out of them. Do you know what I am saying.?The today electriciam are able to fault find it. I was is fault finding when I done found the fault what made me post this.

I have just googled it, and they do say it came out after the war, Rubbish all the rewires I have done in that era, it is all radials, the RFC took off big time in the early 60's.Give or take a decade or two
Yes you are correct, with the early pvc cable, nothing wrong with it other than quite messy, just wipe it off. green gooey mess.Now you mention it I think you're right, not that I've seen much VIR
Slight side track, who knows the cause of 'weeping' older cables and green copper? I had it at the back of my mind it was a bad type of plasticiser that was used but I'm not certain.

I have never experienced this Andy. Learning all the time.When I have encountered the goo before, the insulation has been wrecked.

The green goo is a component of the insulation and should not give poor IR readings.
