Grateful if someone could offer some advise, I'm struggling to find a definitive answer to this.
I have a double socket, it was on the ring main but due to short leads after decoration the ring was joined behind the socket using 3 way wagos and short leads run to the socket, so it's effectively a very short spur. I want to add an fcu next to the socket. Can I swap the 3 way wagos for 4 way wagos and take a spur from that to the fcu? Or is this against regs as I would be effectively taking 2 spurs from one point. ( I would not be spuring from a spur as the wago is on the ring, I would be taking 2 very short spurs from one point on the ring using 4 way wagos)
The other option I have is to use wagos to extend the ring to the socket then spur from the socket to the fcu. Or I could even put the fcu on the ring. However I would then end up with a lot more connectors behind the socket.
I accept that the best solution would be to replace the wires to the socket but that is not an option in the short term as this would involve chasing out the wall.
Any advise gratefully received

- TL;DR
- Can I take 2 short spurs from a 4 way wago?
