Hi Sparx, I make you right, the distance of 300mm is quoted by NIC-EIC as i said earlier seems strange, you can have your hand in the sink and reach a socket outlet. You would think there would be something in the regs regarding distance, as we all know water and leckie don't mix. This is why i turn...

electric hob

looking for some advice could anyone tell me how close an electic hob can be installed next to a sink. I know socket outlets and control switches have to have a minimum clearence of 300mm, not sure if a hob would be the same.

Hi Tribalpool got your name right this time, any way if you had to buy an insertion tool i take it you did not buy an NTE 5A, but i do hope the socket that you bought was a 2/1a. They do sell 2/3a's , the difference is the 2/3a is an extension socket where as the 2/1a is a main socket.You have to ha...

Hi Mr B, thanks for your response, is 25mm2 the smallest size of cable to use or would it be possible to go smaller. As you will be aware 25mm2 is quite a size and anything smaller would be easier to get to 2nd c/u. Have looked at table 4D4A and see that a 2 core 10mm2 armoured cable will take 67 am...
