Am I allowed to extend a cable and swap junction boxes
Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.25 PM
Hi, I have a flush fitting single socket with a back-box in the wall. I would like to surface mount a double socket by securing it's back-box onto the back-box in the wall. To do this I would need to extend the cable to reach the new socket. I was thinking I could achieve this with Wago connectors and short lengths of new cable. Would this constitute a change in the circuit and contravene part P. Also I have two old round junction boxes under the floor and wanted to change them to maintenance free Wago junction boxes. Would this also constitute a change in the circuit and contravene part P. As always, many thanks in advance.
