    Sockets below countertop

    Does anyone know if there are any rules, regulations or recommendations for fitting appliance sockets below a kitchen countertop? To me, it appears that the most convenient is to have them at plinth level. Yes, I do mean that low because the vast majority of appliances will clear them...
