Is the circuit your connecting the DVD player/ freviewbox RCD protected? Im not an expert but if there is leakage in any of those items then surely the RCD would operate. If the socket is not RCD protected then this may explain why you get a shock like I say Im not an expert by any means...

voycie. My appoligies Im fairly new to this forum and dont know all the rules I can now see why hijacking is not allowed. Must be pretty frustrating. note: I think people on this site like pretty pictures like your previous post. It always seems to get a quick respone and people know exactly...

Theres the worlds biggest window to the right of the cooker not shown properly on my pic. So theres no chance of putting the FCU there or I would have. I have already chased in and wired sockets to the left of the cooker that Im going to have to reposition. Hmmm :evil: By the way In answer...

Eh outlet vertical to switch but the switch can be 2m to the side: how about the following ok by you: http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u213/rewire_bucket/cookerhood2.jpg

Thanks JohnD seems your a kitchen expert. The only thing is there is not much option of putting the FCU to the side (its a question of available space). Going back to my pic of the FCU next to the chimney and flex outlet behind the hood is this against the regs or just not your personal...

John D - Rule 20 noted. :oops: BTW how can I have the FCU above the worktop the cooker is below the Hood?

Just picking up on this one. On the subject of easy accessability do ya think a cooker hood should have an FCU next to the hood chimney with outlet directly behind the chimney . See pic. Any advice on how others would do it is appreciated...

Is there such a thing as and SWA gland expander. i.e. Say I have a 32mm knockout and I want to connect a 25mm gland is an adaptor available to make the thread of the gland bigger to fit the 32mm knockout. If there is presumably the banjo and locking nut will have to be bigger. I have seen...

Thanks John D would be a great idea if the kitchen sink wasnt next to the washer :wink: Think I will do a combination of my way and Davys way. Like the idea of having a switch above the counter to turn the washer off, so long as its 30cm form the edge of the sink right Dont worry about...

Davy, I have notified the council. I take your point about corners being not the safest of safe zones. Going back to that single socket again Its actually a washing machine not a kitchen cabinet. So you would think that connecting the cable as you say "striaght up the wall" would be ok as you...

Davy Thanks for the reply. The only reason the single socket on the left wall connected like that is there will be a kitchen unit covering it. Im just thinking outloud here but if joe public cant see the socket they will not suspect and cables are present in that wall and potentially stick...

Yes I could pull the socket on the small wall. I suppose by doing that I can take the cable horizontally to the Green safe zone(corner) then up so its parallel with the double socket then across to connect to the double socket. Right? See revised drawing i suppose what I am saying is that...

Just a query about safe zones round walls. Can I pass the cable shown in Red as I have drawn? I am concerned about 2 areas. Think I am ok with the internal corner but not the external. http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u213/rewire_bucket/Slide1.jpg Thanks for any advice P.S is...

Cheers TTC good to know. Is that from the actual sink bowl or the entire sink including drainer?

What do the regulations say about socket outlets either side of the kitchen sink. (not direcly over the sink) just to the left and and right? Someone told me that you shouldnt be able to touch a socket with your right hand whilst your left had is in the sink. Is this right?
