Just want to check that it is ok to wire both circuit wires back into the...

    Power to an Outside Office - Spur from Ring Final?

    Hi All, Just looking for some reassurance on a job I've looked at today. My status is that I am trying to stay within the realms of 'Minor Works' until I get a bit of experience under my belt. Conscientious decision - but everywhere I go it seems that notifiable work is needed as well...

    Swap fused spur for Single Socket

    Hi I'd like to swap a 13a fused spur for a single 13a socket as we're never going to put a fireplace in and just want to have less wire clutter. I've swapped sockets over before without an issue but what's confused me here is that there are 2 sets of wires going into the socket (see picture)...

    Radial or spur off of ring

    Hi guys, Just an initial heads up, I’m just level 2 qualified, so go easy on me. I’m currently adding some sockets in my house. So I thought I’d break the ring, extend it and add them in. Took the back off a socket and it only had one cable going into it, so presumed it was a radial. I’ve...

    looking for a half gang / architrave size fused spur

    Hi all, I have been asked to install a spur for a Macerator in an existing bathroom. At present the bathroom has an electric shower and that's it, there are no sockets near or in the bathroom. I was thinking to drop a feed from an RCD protected FCU from the lighting circuit in the loft to...

    Adding fused spur for bathroom extactor

    Hi - I'm planning to fit an extractor with timer to a bathroom, switching on with the lights and had bought a fan isolator switch, but reading the Manrose instructions they insist on double pole fused spur with 3A fuse. I think it will be easiest to fit a switched fuse spur and not bother with...

    Is this is spur from a newer 100A fuse into the older VIR & Bakelite fuse?

Upon further inspection I believe that it appears that the DNO have fitted a 'newer' (I say newer as it's not new given that I had the old fuses removed from my...
