Why do you want FCU's for the sockets??  Sockets are sockets, and if you can get at them, there is no need for FCU's.

Why a ring??  For a few odd sockets, run a 32amp 4mm radial.

If you used one FCU, the 13amp fuse would last no time at all with washer, dryer etc running.

No probs with a Ring spot - no need for FCUs either mate. Just bung a couple of sockets in and away you go.
