Hi all,
Here's the situation...
We have an integrated double oven sat in our kitchen connected through a cooker outlet using 6mm T&E. Next to the cooker outlet is a double point which we have the gas hob and tumble dryer conencted.
Unfortunately the tumble dryer has never sat flush with the cupboards because the plug behind is a few mm too thick which makes the tumble dryer stick out.
Here's the plan if it can be done...
Remove the double mains socket and replace with a flex oulet for the gas hob and a blanking plate. Then extend the flex on the tumble dryer and connect to another point further down the kitchen. This will give us back a few extra mm so the tumble dryer can be pushed back.
The question is can a 6mm T&E cable run through a flex outlet socket and be safe as it will be powering the cooker. I've already got one which is fused. The fuse I will be using is 3amp for the gas hob.
Thanks.
