1 Cooker Connector & 2 Cables - How???

[bristolmick]

Hello there,

I got an electrician to fit a cooker switch and connection box in advance of me fitting a new kitchen. He also connected a couple of feet of cable to both the hob & oven. However, when I tried to connect the two appliances' wires into the wall-mounted connection unit, I found it very cramped - and pratically impossible if I wanted the grey cable insulation to extend to inside the connector. My questions are:

1) Is it ok to connect two appliances into a single cooker connector?
2) Is it ok to leave the grey insuation shy of the connector box?
3) Are there double-connectors available?

Thanks in advance for your comments.
