Flush Junction Box - tee in to new socket outlet

adrian92 · 30-05-2014 11:00PM #1

I want to tap into an existing power circuit to connect a new socket.

Is there a suitable (recessed) junction box for 2.5 sq mm Twin and earth ?

Any ideas or suggestions welcomed.

If it's a stud wall you could just use a single styling box and single blank plate or if it's solid wall use a flush box and blank plate

Thanks for the advice. It is a solid wall but want to tap into a cable feeding an existing socket. I do not know the items you refer to are. How, do you know, could I find out what they are?. Thanks

Where do you intend to tap into the circuit.
If you could get cable back you could just connect into back if socket.
These items I said are all very common available in all electrical merchants and DIY stores

Is it a ring circuit?
