Piccie in overview section shows a spur off a radial - you can only have spurs off ring circuits. ;-)

A branch from a radial is just that, a branch. Its not a spur since that term has a particular definition in BS7671, and spurs also have a set of limitations about how they can be used, that do not apply to radials. Radials do not have to be a linear chain of accessories, any topology is acceptable including multi branch and star.

Bathroom sockets

AIUI sockets are allowed in bathrooms if they are either

  • accessible with use of a tool
  • outside zone 3

Is this incorrect? NT 12:20, 30 May 2007 (BST)
