Do I need an electrician for cooker connector unit

[MTBOO]

Hello

We are replacing our electric oven single oven. Circuit has 32amp MCB and seems older cooked was directly connected to CCU straight to back of cooker using thick cable. New cooker arriving tomorrow and think it might have a 13amp plug. Think I need to fit a connector unit to walk behind cooker and then wire CCU and cooker flex into it (cutting off plug in cooker ??)

Question for you in the trade , is this ok for me to do or does it require someone who is certified in terms of building regs/part P etc.

Couple of pics attached

Thanks

My new range cooker was connected up with 10mm tw&e. Might take the cover off & see how it was done; after Xmas perhaps.

ours is on 15mm......................... 15mm gas pipe.

yes you do need a qualified spark as the guys said.
the cores for the other cooker may not be the correct size for the new one. and theres all the testing to make sure everything is correct.
a spark will have all the equipment and the proper knowledge for the job.
if the cooker has a plug it may have a fuse in it and removing the plug will take an over-current device out of the circuit.
this is why its much safer to get a qualified spark in to hook it up.

@gnuuser - the OP has probably cooked his Xmas dinner on the new cooker and another 3 months' of meals since - that post is rather old!

Can you put a 13A outlet on a 32A circuit ?

why not?

why not?

Indeed

Yes, because UK plugs contain a fuse rated at 13A or less.
