Having been asked to fit a new weatherproof external socket to a domestic property, it's not feasible to fit the easy way, back-to-back, but perfectly possible and, I would expect, acceptable to fit it at the end of a 2m horizontal length of PVC conduit. HOWEVER, the client would also like a new internal socket back-to-back from this position. Is it considered acceptable to extend the ring circuit through the conduit to this new location - OK, I'd upgrade to galv steel - whilst keeping the external socket as a fused spur? Location is adjacent to the path from gate to front door. All other requirements (RCD etc) are satisactory.
3. Only one single or one double socket is permitted on a spur.
On an unfused spur that is - you are permitted more sockets on a fused spur, although you should ensure that the total loading would be unlikely to exceed 13A nominal.
