Hi. Wondering if you guys can offer any advice on the situation we have in the kitchen please
Basically, the whole kitchen is being cleared out and re-done, plaster off, new units etc etc. Now at the moment there is a plug-in oven and a gas hob that exists but in the future, once the money situation is better, we would like to have an induction hob fitted.
We have run some 10mm cable from the board to a 45A Cooker Switch position in the kitchen but after that is where I am not 100% certain on how to proceed. The plan was to install a 10mm link to a blank face plate over a deep back-box and then use connector blocks to extend this to two fcu's to allow the current setup to be used.
I would then replace the fcu for the hob with an Appliance Outlet to allow me to connect the new hob, if and when we get it.
I want to be able to get all the cables installed and hidden behind the plasterboard so as to avoid the need for extra chasing being required when/if we get a new hob.
The problem I am having is getting hold of connector blocks that are rated for that sort of current carrying capacity.
Does anyone have any better examples of procedures for this sort of work or is the above acceptable if I can get the connector blocks ?
Thanks
