But if is going to wire in the hob directly without a plug he needs

spur would be desirable.


What if I did use a plug and socket for the hob connection? That's what was
done (not by me) in my old kitchen.


Then the experts (see Robin's post in this thread) reckon a short spur
of 2.5mm^2 from your cooker switch or the junction box to a socket will
be ok provided you have no bigger than a 32A MCB.



No reckon, it's a fact.
