Using oven supply for double socket

[EFLImpudence]

Oh sorry, well fit the 30A otherwise you will likely not be able to us WM and DW at the same time.

How far will the sockets be from the cooker outlet?

No dishwasher now, just washing machine and lights for gas cooker.Cooker outlet is gone, I'm using the cable for a double socket.

That's ok then, both will have fuses in the plugs - WM 13A & 3A for Gas igniter.

Yes thanks,but my query is what fuse rating do I use at the fuseboard to replace the one removed and lost by the builder?

Indeed - but the OP should be aware that if he is going to 'daisy chain' two (or more) sockets on a radial, he'll have to use at least 4mm² cable for the connection between the sockets (and, indeed, the connection to the first socket, if the cable is joined, rather than taking the existing 6mm² one all the way to the socket) if the circuit is being protected by a 30A fuse.

That's why I asked about the distance but as he is only going to fit one double socket it doesn't apply.

30A will be alright.

Thanks again

Fair enough. I guess it depends who he takes most notice of - he was previously advised to fit two single sockets, rather than a double.

Yes, that's what I thought and (also) why I asked about the distance but apparently the dish-washer has turned into a gas hob.

Maybe. We obviously interpreted it differently. I took "No dishwasher now" to mean 'not yet' (i.e. to be added later) - but you seem to have taken it to mean 'new plan - no dishwasher ever, just gas hob'.

Can only go on information given.

Fair enough - I didn't notice the "double socket" bit

Just to confirm, I've fitted a double socket which will only be supplying a washing machine and light for the gas cooker. We now have no space for a dishwasher. It's 6mm2 cable approx 8 metres back to fuseboard with 30 amp fuse fitted. trust that's ok.
Many thanks to you all!
