id have to check about the warranty etc although im sure the manufacturers expect people to do things like this. Afterall, im not rewiring without a plug on it - its exactly the same thing isnt it? Good point Liam about the depth of the box - i will ensure i use one deep enough to cater...

Yeah , i can see that and sounds ok to me apart from the socket in the adjacent cupboard bit - didnt really want that if i could avoid it. Would there be anything wrong with my "proposed" method so i could avoid mutilating the cupboards? Regards to the DW / WM etc - i had initially thought...

I could do that but ive had sockets in base units before and i wanted to get rid of them and have all appliances including integrated dishwasher,fridge and freezer all controlled at worktop level with FCU's. Didnt really want to hack the back out of my nice new carcases to pull through cables...

but what if the fuse goes in the plug? - i will have to take the built in oven out wont i?

Dont really wanna bang a socket on the end as it isnt fused down then is it? - also , i want the facility to isolate the cooker/hob at worktop level and not just at the CU should anything go wrong (god forbid) Hence, im thinking that i use the existing 6mm to supply a 13z FCU at worktop level...

Will i get 6mm t & e into the back of a 13a FCU - 2.5mm obviously ok for the load from oven to the switch or maybe even 1.5mm but prefer to use 2.5 if thats ok? Assuming thats ok, ill just put the oven in using that technique and spur off a socket for the gas hob power?

Hi all. I have a new single built under oven for my kitchen install the other day which is great. Rated at 2800 in the book so has a plug already fitted which sounds fantastic and nice and straightforward! Trouble is, i have a 6mm feed (from the old electric hob - new one is gas) where...

Thanks John I thought it would be ok, just want to double check before going ahead with the purchase. I can get a D/W with legs that adjust to 870mm but more expensive. As long as raising the height of the "little" one (god knows why Baumatic make machines that only go upto 850mm is beyond...

Hi - hope this is the right forum My problem is this. Im doing a kitchen install at home (havent put the units in yet, just planning) I have an integrated dishwasher and a freestanding washing machine planned for the same base unit run. Problem being that the washing machine at its...

Thanks for the positive comments Zambezi, Looks like i am gonna give it a whirl (despite the sceptcism) as i will have the cable soon. If it looks impossible (which im 99% sure that it is possible to do), then i will just use smaller cable as stated. If and when i get it done, i will...

Ban, I went ahead and bought the cable based on the information provided to me by the cable manufacturer....at least i had made the effort to find and research suitablity before doing anything (havent actually don anything else). Lapp told me that it would be ok to terminate as suggested...

Appreciate what you are saying Jason. I suppose it will prove tedious trying to fit the cable into both ends... The supposed plan was - yes, braid into MK plug side but NOT into c7/c13 side......that would be l/n for the c7 and l/n/e for the c13. Im very doubtful i would burn holes in...

we all dribble a lil bit :lol:

well folks, im off to bed, gonna sneak a pair of the missus' knickers and try them out on site tomorrow..........dya reckon i will look alright? :shock:

Hmmmm....its quite possible that the high content of urea in the panties could produce an elctrochemical barrier........

i should possibly use cling film to envelop the kitchen foil tho, to act as an insulator.............

Ban, if im already bald, is it sufficient to place a suitably thick layer of folded kitchen foil across my shiny head to the recommended thickness, then don the afore mentioned headwear and still be suitably protected?

Assuming the worst here, does anyone wanna buy 10metred of quality CY cable :o :lol: :? :(

The mast signals must have addled my brain col, hence thinking of these inteference reducing fooking DIY mains cables :lol:
