I need to fit a new socket quite near to the consumer unit. I have no spare ways in the consumer unit, so I want to incorporate the new socket on the existing ring feeding the area. Is it acceptable practice to connect either the "feed" or "return" cable to a new cable to the new socket using a 30A choc connector within the consumer unit, and then use a new return cable from the new socket to complete the ring back to the fuse? I think this will be OK as there is access to the joint, and I don't really want to invest in a crimp tool if I don't have to.
Thanks
John
