Well after grafting away for the mrs to have a nice shiny cooker hood that stopped the top of the worktops and ceiling getting greasy (which I noticed when I came to paint) she didn't even use a bloody hob! Tomoro night il give it a good test by cooking fajitas :-D

Thanks for the advice everyone! Cookerhood is now installed and working.

[/url] Hi ban all sheds, I decided against that and I am now running horizontal to an fcu which is directly above the twin socket. Does that sound more within regulation?

Is it ok to put the fcu against the back wall inside the cupboard? It would mean needing a stool to reach it but it is still "accessible"

This is the dual box I mentioned earlier which would allow me to fit both a single socket and fcu in place of the double socket. Just need to make the hole slightly larger.[/img]

That's what I was looking at initially but the problem is above the double socket is a cupboard and the fcu would be above it. Ideally I'd like to have it in line with the rest of the sockets if possible. Otherwise it will be done like you have said above but the fcu will be inside a...

Ok! Thanks for that! So the best thing to do in that case would be to install a 154mm dual flush box and then fit a single 3a fcu and a single socket. Previous socket Single socket 3a fcu ----------spur------> cooker hood junction box Next socket (Wired as above, if Understandable!l)

Ok, everywhere I look I find people installing these hoods in a standard junction box behind the chimney and then wired into an fcu. So all I need to find out is if I can replace the twin socket plate with a cooker switch and socket or if I have to increase the size of the hole and wire in a...

By at the board do you mean my fuse box? I'm sure it does, house was only built 2 years ago. Does behind plasterboard count as buried? I'm a qualified electronic tech so know my way around wiring. Just the electrical lingo i occasionally struggle with haha

Then to access the switch I'd have to remove the chimney? The hood specifications say the switch must be easily accessible. If this is not the case I could easily just fit a spurred fcu off of the twin socket.

Hi all, new to this forum as a member but it has helped me out alot without needing to post. This time I'm slightly stumped! I am fitting a cooker hood and will wire direct into a junction box hidden behind the hoods chimney. It will then be wired horizontal along and then vertical down above...
