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

Basically asking can I run the cable from the board inside, through the wall clip the cable to the outside then bring it back in where the hob location is and connect up. So basically the cooker feed with run outside then back in

Despite all the confusing replies I think the simple answer is;
YES.
But give consideration to the type of wiring/method you in tend to use!

Definitely don’t go for sy, its not compliant with any bs and shouldn’t be used for that application..
Perhaps, Go for heavy gauge 25mm conduit, the containment can also be used for lighting or outdoor power

Is it a concrete floor?
Sometimes a customer just needs telling point blank......if you want something doing you got to be prepared for mess ie chases or ugly mech protection on show...... we're Sparky's not magicians.

This isn't a sparky, frightening.

If you are referring to the OP then where do you get your info from that he isn't a sparky?

Yes it's allowed. Put it in conduit - no problem

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.

I have done exactly that on a recent job where new owners were buying a dual fuel range, conduit was the best option for that particular job.

Whatever convention may tell you, it is right to question.
Does this work?
Does this comply?
Do it! It's not magic...

Might look ----, though!

I type "----" and it comes out ****!

 

[pirate]

Just having a laugh, ok?

 

[pirate]

Oh! It did it again! Now that's clever...like pea and ham frae a chicken!

How do you turn off notifications I’m trying to enjoy a nice bottle of wine and an episode of Orville and keep being pestered with this tedious thread that the original poster has long forgotten about

You can't...because your soul needs you to listen...

You'd only worry what important updates you might be missing. It would destroy you.
