Ok, I`ve googled and found a few articles, but cant find one specifically
dealing with my problem. I'm fitting a beaumatic stainless chimney hood in
the kitchen. The cable runs out the back into the void created by the
chimney. I'm not using it as an extractor just as a filter, so the air will
be in the chimney void. what is the best way to connect this up to the main,
I have a spur from a socket to a fused switch and is going near by, but
could I connect the flexible cable from the hood to 2.5mm2 cable via a
junction box is it possible to use a flexible cord outlet, if so where do I
get them (As cant find them on screfix) the reason I ask is if I connect the
cable within the chimney wont all the grease and humidity affect it

Thanks
DD

Actually maybe I just didn't explain myself that well (Suffering from bad
cold) I already have a power cable in the cupboard next to the extractor
(NOT LIVE YET) just wondered what was the best/safest way to connect it, I
am competent (Completed a lighting ring main, that has been commissioned by
a local electrician and he said I did a good job, also added to the ring
main and created a new ring for the kitchen) so I am more aware than most
who post asking electrical related questions, admittedly this one has
stumped me as to the best and safest way to do it.

snipped

Where do the ends of the dead cable go? One end is in the cupboard next to
the extractor, but where's the other end?

The fact that you are talking about 'lighting ring main' suggests rather
strongly that you are not competent. A ring circuit is not a configuration
which is generally employed for lighting circuits.

If you really did wire it in a ring then your electrician is as
clueless as you.

To the UNCONNECTED kitchen ring main, its a kitchen in project which has all
the ring main set up just hasn't had it connected to the CU until an
electrician comes to commission it (Or condemn it)

Ok I know no ones going to give me advice apart from get an electrician so
this is what I'm doing if there's a problem then let me know,
From ring main running a 2.5mm2 to a 3 amp FCU then from here running a 1mm2
cable directly to the Hood, is that a problem or do I need to connect the
Hood up to a flex outlet?
Thanks

Not quite sure if I follow how the air will end up in a chimney void if
you are using the hood in recirculate (i.e. filter) mode rather than
extraction mode...

However, assuming you have a suiable power feed to the adjacent
cupboard, I would suggest a switched fused connection unit in the
cupboard with the flex from the extractor terminated there.

http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...13585&ts=35385

Failing that you could simply install a dedicated socket in the cupboard
and put a suitably fused plug on the end of the extractors flex.

That isn't much better TBH. Just concentrate on the cooker hood query.

Sounds OK.

do i connect the

Thanks for the advice I appreciate people are cautious about giving advice
about elec. but I do always make sure all work is checked before its
connected to the mains. The reason I started doing it was after I got three
quotes to replace the lighting circuit which ranged from 1000 to over 2000
(That was with me supplying the cable the face plates and running the cable
form the switch to the light fixtures) So two days "easy work" and all was
done then for £50 a local reputable electrician came out and commissioned
the work. Now I'm not surprised that people (Even those with hardly any
knowledge) work on electrics, but as long as people have common sense are
sensible and seek advice then I don't see why they shouldn't do work its the
people with no clue and no common sense that should be stopped, but how...

Hi,

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer or is there any
installation instructions?

cheers,
Pete.

Thanks
