Can I link a fused spur to a ring

[Yanni]

My cooker hood does not have a fused isolator
They put the cooker on the ring with a double socket next to the top of the cooker hood

I want to bring the isolator next to a socket. Above the worktop for easy access.

Am I allowed to connect the fused spur as in the diagram. So basically I use the supply section as a connector for the ring and take from the load section the supply for the cooker hood.

In other words the 2.5mm from the cu is connected to the supply section of the fused spur, again from the supply section I connect a 2.5mm to the next socket etc and complete the ring.

Also I need to put the fused spur almost next to a socket is there a min cable length that I have to use as it seems only about 15-20cm long.

It doesn;t have to.

Ok.

Yes.

Ok.

But you could just have one cable from the socket to the FCU (the cable is the spur).
It would save cutting the ring.

Of course there isn't a minimum length.

Thanks so much, I don't understand how I could not think I could use one cable as the cable is the spur!
One of the thing I read is that the cooker hood needs to be able to be isolated easily without having to reach for a chair hence I did not want to keep that socket at the top of the wall. Also I want to place a plug at the top of the cooker hood inside the chimney so it is not visible. I use the MK outdoor plugs which are a bit bulky but they properly seal with gel pads and avoid any grease going in.

Yes, and you don't need an FCU as there will be a fuse in the hood plug.

There is no regulation saying an FCU has to do that. The breaker in the consumer unit covers it.

Ok.
If the hood extracts to outside then the "chimney" is just a decorative cover not carrying any fumes or grease.

It is a recirculation hood.
