[QUOTE="Retired, post: 447216, member: 29075"] Hi, Our detached bungalow with two room extension still retains just a single ring circuit for power and another for lighting; All the cable is in excellent condition it dating from 1964 when the bungalow was built. The power ring is in 2.5mm T&E and its this I'm concentrating on. I'm going to give our kitchen its own dedicated circuit but would like information/advice please as to best circuit to use whether this be ring on 2.5mm T&E or radial on 4mm T&E? Which is favoured by you sparkys please? I've been looking at loading in the kitchen and here is a list of items to be supplied by the new circuit; Tumble drier. Washing machine. Fridge. Toaster. Vac Fused spur to bathroom fan heater. 1.5mm T&E. The floor area of both kitchen and bathroom is well under 50 square metres. I was going to go head with a ring circuit but I'm looking at options and have just been reading regulation 433.1 (Ring and final circuit arrangements). I've already bought plenty WAGOBOX's and 221 connectors in readiness. Kind regards, Colin. [/QUOTE]
