Ring Final Circuit - spurs only

[John-SJW]

If this situation arose is it legal? A ring with only jboxes is the point. Or the actual ring cable with no sockets on it.

You can have a ring with only j boxes if you want, and yes it's legal as you put it.

Do the junction boxes cost more than the cable you are saving?

 

[John-SJW]

Please try and focus on the point i was making.

Just a thought on this. A ring with jboxes only. The jboxes supply only one socket via a cable approx 2 to 3 metres long. Big saving on cable.

In #9 you stated big saving on cable.

 

[John-SJW]

The point is a ring without sockets. It can have:
1. just jboxes or;
2. hard wired in appliances on the ring.

It is not difficult to grasp.

If you wish to design your own non-standard circuits then you are free to do so,

Thx. So OK to have a ring with no sockets on it.

Why would you hard wire any appliances?
They are designed to be portable, come with a plug.
Give them a socket.

As I said earlier, extra joint boxes and time to install outweigh the cable cost saving.


Get your replies in now, lads…. Can’t see this thread lasting much longer.

The point is a ring without sockets, either with for e.g., having only jboxes or appliances hard wired on the ring. Why the jbooxes are there or why the appliance are hard wired in is not the point. It is a regs point.

What about the cost of the joint boxes or are you not going to answer that.
There are plenty of ring final circuits out there which do not incorporate socket outlets.
