Discuss Are recessed sockets not BS1363 compliant? in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net
wtf are you on about?
Well I can only see them blurred on my phone but from what I can make out there wouldnt be much room for the flex coming out plug would there?...
Have you seen a US plug and have you seen a UK plug???
If your looking to recess in the floor then you can just use floor boxes and standard sockets...
You'd have to cut a big chunk out of the wall to accommodate it. Considering most modern TVs come with an adaptor anyway it's probably better just to use a brush plate like this:
Lindy 60238 Double Gang Brush Face Plate £12.34 TVCables
then you can run all the cables (HDMI, composite etc) all together, and they're easy enough to change at a later date. "Future-proof".
Do they use 'brush plates' in America? If not why not? Do they not comply with 'code'?
Yup and yup... but is that really a solution? You can't put a floor back lets say in the kitchen area if you wanted a recessed socket so you can have your appliances going right up flush to the wall.
I think we are diverting from the original question here and trying to justify not doing something because its unheard of.
Are recessed UK power sockets not compliant with BS1363? Is there a rule saying that they cannot be recessed into the wall?
