Thanks radiohead is there any scenarios then you would be comfortable doing what I proposed....2 double sockets off 4mm from ring.
Absolutely not. Bs 7671 permits a maximum of 1 double outlet to be on an unfused spur from a ring.
The only theoretical reason I can see for wanting to put two double sockets on a 4.0mm spur from a 2.5mm ring would be because it was anticipated that these two sockets would be heavily loaded. That would create an unacceptable load potential on one point of the ring.
Where a number of lightly loaded outlets are to be installed then a 13a FCU spur for ease of installation would be sensible, but where more than one outlet is required and load is unknown always incorporate on the ring.
