Hello all,
I am looking for a double cooker switch combining the extra 13amp socket.

No problem i hear you say....

If you were to look at the switch on wall, i want terminals to be on right instead of left, not bothered about make or style just need one...
Or is it standard that terminals are always to the left?
cheers all
 
cut them a bit short del, I did end up searching for another, but all switches it seems are standard, just had to join up in backbox, which I hate doin...

I may be wrong on this, but I belive the BS for these devices states that the socket must be on the right (as you look at it).

Have you not considered changing the wall box for a deep dual accessory then mounting a single gang 45A switch on one side and a single socket on the other side??

I know not a brilliant solution, but it does get over the over-zealous cutting problem :D
 
If he is going to start cutting into the wall, why not move the whole thing along a few cm's so the wire will reach?

Any idea why?

What about the other 10%?
