Hi,
I have a two core and earth cable, (6mm I think) running from the consumer unit to a double pole switched control unit in the kitchen for the cooker. This cable then runs to the terminal outlet box where the cooker will be.
The cable is all run and the terminal outlet is wired but I'm having immense difficulty trying to wire the control unit due to the thickness and inflexibility of the 6mm wire.
The best I can do is get the screws in to the mounting box but I can't really tighten them, so the control unit sticks out from the wall by 10mm or so.
I've already took the mounting box out and chisselled more of the wall away but obviously not enough and now it's all been replastered so I don't want to do it again.
Does anyone out there have any tips of the best way of wiring these things up? Any crafty hints that help, as I'm about ready to pull my hair out... or would be if I had any!
Any advice very much appreciated!
Cheers,
Aaron
