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

No offence to the OP but this thread has made me giggle. Good luck with running the cable out and in and in and out.... and in.

I wouldn't have either externally on my house......and no I'm not a snob just wouldn't want a fat cable on show with loads of cleats showing.

Personally if I couldn't convince client to bite bullet and mess up kitchen I'd silly price job and if accepted I'd do it in conduit or if possible dig trench and hide swa?

It's no laughing matter. You've got to be Part O qualified before you can even consider running cables outside!

None of us have (except the OP) seen the job though. The external run might be only for a few feet. The exterior of the house might be hideous and unkempt. The run might be in a side passage that is virtually never used. Solutions and their costs can be provided and the client can then decide.

Can you route it under the plinth?

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 tend to agree with the above...

Domestic install , only (easiest) route is external , depending on the oven/hob I would go for 4mm in 20mm pvc conduit or 6mm in 25mm pvc conduit.
It ain’t perfect but nothing in life ever is.

Take the 10mm bonding from main water pipe under sink and use as a draw for 6mm then re instate it’s helped me out a couple of times

 

[davesparks]

Can you get 6mm or 10mm singles?

I've only ever used 10mm for earth bonding

I can't work out if this question is a joke or not?

Where's the OP gone?
Ill be keen to see pics of his install.

I did ask him is floor concreted (usually is like) but no answer.

OP always seem to just disappear, I would like to start seeing some closure on a lot more of these threads

No one has suggested MICC yet. 2L4 is amply rated, suitable for outdoor use and has an overall diameter of only 9.4mm

I can't keep up with what's going on here is the cables going out and in more than once??
