Ikea - sockets in units

[7671]

Im in the process of quoting for a kitchen refit which ikea fitters will be fitting whilst i complete electrical works. Dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer are all freestanding but below worktop so my plan was to provide a switched fused spur with single socket for each. Now, ikea have asked if i could place the single sockets in unit which i'm happy to do but how should i route cables from chase to unit. I did think about using a flex outlet plate and wire the single socket into this which to me seems fine and cant see any reason or reg that says not to - and neater

am i wrong ?

If you are going to put switched sockets in the units,don't put any sort of junction or flex outlet to feed them.
Site them high in a cupboard towards the front,mounting the outlet side ways up so the flex and the plug top does not droop, use stick on trunking to enclose and support the cable and machines flex

Rather than running the circuit direct to these cupboards,think about a grid assembly with a single cable for you to deal with for each outlet

Bring the cables out at a level slightly below the top and within the proposed cupboard position,just leave them dangle harmlessly until the cupboards are fitted,get the fitter to drill a access hole high up for your appliance flex,job done

Which is stupid. You don't need two fuses in series.

If you must have above worktop isolation (which is not required anyway) use double pole 20amp switches. Don't use ones with neons as in a couple of years they will be black,
