[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 518781, member: 250"] Meanwhile.. Back to the original question.. (not the debate about regs interpretation).. It is probably worth checking what rating the protective device is at the consumer unit....? As the existing socket could be part of a radial circuit fed from a spare 16A or 20A MCB.. (which I have seen quite often in garages especially when the consumer unit is also in the garage, and the old immersion heater MCB is no longer in use since a combi-boiler was fitted).. In which case you can just extend it without needed any 13A fused spurs.. But of course you will also need to check on appropriate RCD protection!!!!! :innocent [/QUOTE]
