Hi all
Currently trying to re-route cables/reposition fixings/add isolators to satsify BCO inspector re: kitchen first fix!
So I now have a dual box for kick space heater/fridge-freezer spurs and a single box for an oven isolator on the wall alongside the tall units which will house oven/f-f. As the oven isolator is to the right of the dual box, I need to get past this and its outlet with a feed for the fridge freezer (plug socket or cable outlet haven't decided yet).
The question relates to cables feeding outlets in/at the back of cupboards.
My intention (and I've already made a start) was to chase down approx 6" from the isolator then chase horizontally to the cable outlet location behind the tall units. The vertical chase would be in the safe zone below the isolator, and the horizontal chase would be in the safe zone defined by the cable outlet. But the outlet is concealed in a cupboard therefore not obvious, so maybe the horizontal chase is now "at risk". I could go up above ceiling (vertical in safe zone), across in the ceiling void, then back down to the outlet. But this leaves me in the same position with the vertical drop to the outlet being "drillable".
The diagrams in the Engineers guide show isolators above worktops with the outlets directly below but don't adress the issue of isolators covering tall unit outlets.
Any thoughts please?
