Hi

What is the distance for sockets to the Hob?

I had an electrician yesterday to say that it is 300mm, another one said it is 150mm?

My sockets are currently 150mm away from the Hob.

Can someone confirm who is actually right?

Many thanks

As discussed in the other thread, 300mm is a guidance distance but not a regulation.
The wiring regulations do say that electrical stuff like switches and sockets must be suitable for use in the environment. Often the manufacturer will state this suitablility (or the item may have an IP rating). Often - as in this case - its a judgement call by the installer.
