Hob cable outside then in

[Scott Jacob]

Evening All another odd question (I love my customers)

There’s no 10mm or 6mm cable in their kitchen, apparently when it was wired there were all 13amp eco appliances. Anyway a new couple have bought it and want a 5 ring hob installed but the kitchen is done to a high standard so they don’t want trunking or walls chased (kitchen in single story extension. The board and job location are on the outside wall. Can I run a 6/10 mom cable through the wall outside the back inside for for the hob connections obv the cable would be aremourd or SY. Is this doable or is it a case of no can do

Perfectly acceptable to run swa outdoors, if that's what your asking? Bit of a strange thing to ask though!

 

[buzzlightyear]

the best way of put cable to the hob would be in white conduit then black Swa , because it will look pleasing to. the eye .but thats me.

 

[Scott Jacob]

I can’t see any reason why I can’t run the cooker supply it’s mechanically protected

 

[Strima]

I would consider using conduit as it would look tidier than cable. If it’s a straight run black enamel looks good.

 

[Scott Jacob]

No I’m not asking isit accetabke to run a cable outside, all I’m asking is can I run thrnsupllt to my cooker from the board outdidd then in as it’s the only route

Conduit better than swa

are you asking has a customer or a spark?

 

[buzzlightyear]

If youare doing it your self then a new feed will come under part p .

 

[Scott Jacob]

Yes I know that im just asking can I run a job supply outside instead on inside: if the only thing that’s wrong is that it looks unsightly

What’s on the outside wall, Scott? I.e. how visible would cabling or conduit be? Can it be hidden with trellace etc?

For a domestic hob?

Is there a regulation I'm not aware of that says you can't run supplies to hobs in armoured?

I'm not really sure what you're getting at.

If it can be glanded into say a metal clad 45A switch in a sensible place, then what's the problem?

'wheres that in the regs'?
I never mentioned it's against the regs did i...?
I'm just saying really use swa on a domestic cooker hob? industrial type setup that.....like I say sometimes common sense should provail and you have to put your foot down with a customer and tell it how it is.

Using SWA externally is hardly an 'industrial type set up'. SWA is used in thousands of domestic properties.
To the OP; the cable could be SWA, NYY or in conduit. You need to see which is the most practical and sensible for the run. Is the cable that is ran externally likely to get any knocks. If it is then I would avoid NYY in that instance. And I don't think an externally mounted IP box is necessarily an ugly addition.

Explain to the customer the positives and negatives about each viable option and price accordingly.

6mm t+e run through 25mm conduit on the external section would be simplest. Don't really like t and e in conduit, but no point adding unnecessary joints for sake of it, and twin will be easier to route on the internal sections.
