Socket Outlets - Abbreviations Register

[Snoreledge]

Is there a way we can just simplify the below to something like 2 Gang and 1 gang Socket Outlet as ours are 13A here in the UK

And for floor box outlets if they contain data and power would this be covered under the floorbox Abbreviation?

  | outlet - double 20A duplex receptacle | DDR | IfcOutlet | POWEROUTLET
  | outlet - duplex outlets | DXO | IfcOutlet | POWEROUTLET

agreed, the number of outlets in a unit is important to know. having the where or what type/size is inconsistent with the rest of the abbreviations. e.g. BDNS doesn't differentiate between a wall mounted fan coil unit and ceiling mounted fan coil unit.
likewise with items like HVCPB and LVCPB which are oddly specific and not globally applicable.

Some additional thoughts from Arup electrical review:

@RitaLav - agree with your review.
At Max Fordham we also use:

DSO - Double Unswitched Socket Outlet
SSO - Single Unswitched Socket Outlet
DSSO - Double Switched Socket Outlet
SSSO - Single Switched Socket Outlet

not strictly socket outlets but also missing is fused connection units, for which we use:
FCUS - switched fused connection unit
FCUU - unswitched fused connection unit

[RitaLav]

As per meeting 19th April:

For fused connection units use CUSF, CUUF

For socket outlets use:
DSO - Double/duplex Unswitched Socket Outlet
SSO - Single Unswitched Socket Outlet
DSSO - Double/duplex Switched Socket Outlet
SSSO - Single Switched Socket Outlet

Removed 'raised' from FLRB abbreviation.
Remove very specific items on ceiling/floor/wall.
