As explained earlier, you just have to loop from one to the other... Creating a spur from a spur. Of course, not strictly allowed within regs.With itbeing a spur and only one cable how do I connect two singled

I will do that then is there any point having switched socketsthis one then. think there's a knock-out between the comoartments.

I think just a spur there is a fuse for it on wall opposite on a panelyou'll find switched sockets are cheaper than unswitched.
Is it just a spur, or is there a switch controlling it above the worktop?
What is the rating of that fuse??I think just a spur there is a fuse for it on wall opposite on a panel
If it’s coming off a 13A fused switch spur then you are way over the 13A limit.I think just a spur there is a fuse for it on wall opposite on a panel
From the thread title, I thought you were on about 'plumbing in' not 'plugging in'.Can I run a dishwasher and washing machine off a double socket which is off a spur
Agree NOT an ideal way of installing the machinesDish washer and washing machine on same double socket.
Definately not.
Regs may say yes. I say NO.
I would put good money on that socket will melt and burn out. Far too big a load on one double socket.
@brianmoooore spot on, bad practice. But I disagree with the “unlikely to cause problems”. My money is on melted socket.
as for it being a spur. That is not relevant. 2.5 mm cable will cope with the load. It’s the socket that won’t.
just my opinion.
guidance. And I repeat the word is “ guidance” recommends any appliance over 2 Kw should be on its own dedicated circuit.

Will show pic of fuse laterI did query this back in post 8. No good, fuse won't last long, but while it lasts it will be subjected to repeated low overload which is what we are very much supposed to avoid.
So the next question is whether the fuse is actually needed?

Right can’t do it that way what about on the other side I put a dual pattrass for dishwasher and oven with an adapter for hob ignitionyou'll find switched sockets are cheaper than unswitched.

3ampWhat is the rating of that fuse??
Hi can I put in a dual pattrass from a spur and run dishwasher and oven and an adapter for hob ignitionBad practice, but just about acceptable. Unlikely to cause problems unless both appliances are regularly heating water at the same time.
