hello, can anyone tell me where i can find some half inch copper tee's without shoulders so i can fit it to a pipe that cannot be moved? thanks

yeah i meant oven, the hob is a ceramic one, the oven is 2.9kw, i have been told i need a fuse spur for the oven, is this correct?

yep, he was nic/eic, i have to get the job done to get building control to sign the re-wire off, the hob is just daisy chained in to the back of the cooker then in to the terminal in the wall. thanks

I had a periodic inspection report done and in the observations and recommendations section it said: oven and hob on same circuit (no discrimination between appliances, code 2 what do i need to get done? thanks.

well, i'm not an electrician and i will not be doing the job myself, i just wanted to know if it could be done in theory, i was more worried about making holes in the wall and wrecking my kitchen, the cable is correct for the cooker, its the great big thick stuff! and it goes through a cooker...

thanks for all your help adam, you are far more knowledgable than anyone at the council........

well i finally got through to building control at the council, they want a copy of the pir, a completed regularisation form and £226.80 and then they will come out and give me an inspection, i'm still not sure what all this will get me from the council if all checks out???

hello, i am in the unfortunate position that i need to sell my house but had it re-wired a year ago by an electrician who did not make it clear i would need a certificate for the work, he was a friend who seemed to be doing me a favor at the time but now i wished he didn't!!! i have had a full...
