Hi guys,
I'm taking the bank holiday as a great opportunity to wall mount my Pioneer Plasma. However I've got a question on spurs...
I'm wanting to run one from a double socket up to the plasma then fit a fused cable outlet behind the plasma for power. I also want to put all my equipment in the cupboard under the stairs. This doesn't have any power but there's another double socket in close proximity. Initially I wanted to extend the ring main into here but I can't see a way to do so without doing a messy join above the plug outlet and then i'd have to use some kind of cheap cable connection blocks to extend one of the cables. I think it would be safer and easier to run a second spur but I'm not sure what the law and general concensus is to having 2 spurs on a ring? Some places say one only and others suggest you can have as many spurs as sockets!
Also should I be using fused spurs (ie fused face plate next to the original double socket) or is it OK to just run from the original socket as long as i put any mains cable in metal trunking?
Thanks in advance for any replies and I'll get some pics up once the project is nearer completion.
