Cooker points

[i=p/u]

When wiring a cooker point and the hot plate and oven come with 2.5mm flex on each am I right in saying you can just wire into the 6mm outlet plate??? I'm sure you can.. Is there a reg that relates to this... If you can help thanks..

firstly do you look at the rating of the cooker/ oven/hob, whatever you are considering connecting?

Is that a single or double oven?

Use a clic dual outlet plate

Ok I know can get dual plate , what i should be asking and you've forced me into the real question about connecting 2.5mm on to 32A mcb/Rcbo ..but as I see it should be fused down or change flex too 4mm which I've done in past,but I've read on forum before that it's fine

I doubt it is 2.5mm2, cookers are usually wired in tri-rated

Looks like got the crimped end of tri rated, is tri rated smaller CSA than say stranded or solid cores

Slightly

Arguably 2.5 is ok on 32A providing overload is not an issue (oven element load max) and fault current issues are met by thermal constraints (this is reasoning behind 2.5 spurs on RFCs)
