Cooker/hob connection at outlet. Discussion ThreadCooker/hob connection at outlet. Electrical Advice
Just getting back into the trade after a brake of some 5 yrs because of circumstances: Can I ask Is it still permiseable to connect both a hob and oven (usually manufacturers different size cables) into one outlet plate behind the oven?
Or is there a better solution now as it always seemed to contravene good practice to me?
Also can the isolator be local in a cupboard instead of above the work surface where room for isolator is limited/tricky! The outlet we be literally 2 meters from consumer unit clipped direct to stone wall covered one one side (with 1 cm gap) by insulated plasterboard!
Also I found 10mm was always a pain to use but told lately that even Wickes kitchen fitters require 10mm minimum for all combinations of hob/oven sizes! Was 6mm really so bad!
