Hi all

Yet another seemingly numpty question on kitchen wiring....

Is it necessary/advantageous/required by the regs to fit a cable
outlet for an integrated oven?
Would it not be preferable to have a continuous cable from the
isolator to the device and eliminate this extra joint?

It would depend upon the type of cable needed for the final
connection to the oven. Usually you would need some sort of heat
resistant flex and that is best acheived by using 6mm T&E to an
outlet plate and heat resistant flex from the plate to the oven.

Thanks Adam

All this has to do with the BCO and remote isolation.
So I have a scheme which will allow a cooker switch 2m from the
integrated oven.
The thing is that any cable outlet fitted would be behind (ie accessed
through) one of the full height cabinets.

These unit are often not "fully backed" and so an outlet plate in the
correct place on thge wall is no problem to wire up.

I could imagine it being quite a game trying to replace the link
cable/HR flex terminated in that sort of position.

You sort of get used to it after a while.

If I fit a "standard" 6mm cable outlet suitable for 6mm T & E out,
will these be appropriate for HR flex also?

Yes.

Or are you talking about a lower powered oven?

No

In this case I suppose I should terminate the 6mm cable in a fused
spur outlet and cable the oven to that.

Thanks
