cooker connection just behind kitchen cabinet, is it safe?

[olyboy123]

Hi Guys, I have a question about a cooker connection point. I've attached a photo.

So the kitchen cabinets are batoned 70mm off the wall to allow for the waste pipe run. It leaves me with this cooker connection unit sitting just behind the cabinet. Which makes access just about do-able but it's a pretty tight space.

I was wondered firstly does it meet regulations? and secondly I was thinking I could make a cut out on the the back of the kitchen cabinet to make any future wiring changes necessary.

What are your thoughts? Cheers,

I would say it's good enough. May not be ideal but seldom are they ideal as to regs I am sure if I wanted I could find something that it did not comply with but that's being pedantic so although some one could in the future complain I would not be worried about it.

If we wanted to be pedantic, which often do, if those are gas pipes there is regulation regarding a separation gap between the cable and the pipe or an additional insulated barrier. Which in this case gap would be equal/greater than 25mm. Assuming the pipe is a gas one? Then whether the MI asked for the appliance to be connected via heat resistant flex.

Don't worry about it.
