Feeds for a washing machine and tumble dryer

Could easily split the ring final & have two switched fused connection units in a dual back box,need a short link between to continue ring final, I prefer that to having seperate spurs, each fcu then has a 2.5m T&E drop down to a unswitched 13A socket, making sure it isn't in the way when you push the machines back.

Got caught here,I forgot about the raised back on the Bosch, so had to move socket & offset it a bit to one side.

 

As above - dual feeds off a single jb are not allowed.

 

Yea but your spark will probably have a preference for the make of the accessories so better check with him first *cough*. Don't bother with the stick on stuff, it's useless, get normal trunking and screw it to the wall.

 

Don't forget you might want fcu's with neon light.

 

Says who, on every 30A JB I have ever fitted it say 4 x 2.5 max. If its rated to 30A then whats the problem if its on a 30/32A protective device.

 

My understanding is a u/f spur should only feed 1 double socket max so technically you could end up with 1 spur feeding 2 x double socket. Daft though as you could use two jb's and run a 2 inch piece of 2.5mm between them.

 

I understand but both spurs are coming straight from a point on the ring, albeit the same point.

 

Who knows mate, many ways to skin a cat.

 

Why do the posters even bother to pretend that they aren't going to do the job themselves?

 

Are we sure the existing double socket is on the ring and is not an unfused spur which can not be further extended?

 

That's a good point, I was wondering why everyone is assuming it's a ring final circuit!

 

Well his spark can sort it all out for him eh?

 

Just pretend its a Washing Machine and Tumble Drier - regulation breach? for some maybe..

 

I was on a job not two weeks ago where that exact setup was installed but, they were all part of the same ring, just looped from socket to fcu to socket to fcu and so on

 

Hi Never - the two fcu's are spurred from the Ring Final Double Socket via one length of 2.5mm from ds to fcu's ..

 

Aaahh I see, it looks well done all the same, they could have even just extended the ring
