Socket location query

[alfa20ad]

I am looking to install a fused spur and double socket in a new place, but the new place is located on a wall which has the soil stack nicely boxed in.

The question being is this acceptable???

 

[Taylortwocities]

Sure. Providing there is enough clearance between the surface of the boxing and the soil pipe. You will need a back box. What is the stack cased in?

 

[alfa20ad]

The stack is made up of plasterboard and wood, so i have enough room to install back boxes into the drywall.

assume you want the cabling to be inside the boxed section. can't seee a problem.

Use a plasterboard back box.

Do not forget that the cable will need supporting. It will stretch under its own weight.

cobblers, you'd need to hang diane abbott off a 2.5mm cable to make it stretch significantly.

Humm, I must read my notes. I was taught that cables needed to be supported. Ahh well, what do I know…

But I agree about stringing up the Diane

Cheers for the help guys.

What is the breaking strain of 2.5mm T+E? How many pounds of Gammon would it hold up?

I used to work in a ham and gammon factory.
Unfortunately, I never got round to conducting that particular test.

If She was in charge of the weight calculations 300 gozillion metric tonnes would break 2.5 mm quadrupled cable.

shirly it boils down to wheter the 2.5m has a 1.5mm cpc, or a 1.0mm cpc. i prefer the 1.0mm cpc as that would cut into her fat neck quickerand shut her up more humanely.
