Oven and hob connection

[Bradley6969]

Hi all, new 2.5kw oven and 7kw hob, existing 6mm 32a supply to 45a cooker unit, now no access to socket circuit or new supply for oven, so 6mm into cooker switch then from load side to new FCU 13a with 6mm, then 2.5mm to oven?
Will I get x2 6mm into outgoing side of cooker switch?

Unless I keep 45a cooker unit and feed down to a dual appliance plate, then 6mm to FCU?

Do the manufacturers instructions come with any guidance?

Cooker unit to 6mm to dual appliance outlet, connect both appliances direct. No need for the FCU

Oven straight to dual appliance? On 32a fuse? I was thinking either from dual appliance to socket or FCU in 6mm least the plug is then fused

Oven is ok being plugged in or connected to FCU

Don‘t understand that? Most cooking appliances will come with or suggest a suitable cable, to carry their fixed load.

Huh? Already has a 13a plug on it but says can either be plugged in or connected via FCU

I would of thought cutting the plug top off would invalidate warranty. Just keep that in mind

fit a dual back box for the CCU outlet. CCU one side, 13A socket other side, this is 25mm, but think you can get deeper ones.

and you can get 2 x 6mm in a CCU, i've done it a few times.

Anyone wish to explain why they think this would not possibly invalidate a warranty?

Let's turn it around - why would it?

Fair one DPG but after reading the thread posted by Midwest I am now armed with new knowledge.

Some people I’ve asked say from load side of cooker just use 2.5mm to feed FCU as it’s a fixed load for oven, then some say 6mm? Must be cause of overcurrent protecting cable?

Why can’t a dual outlet plate be used, as long as each appliance cable/lead is of a suitable size?
