Just moved - We have a 6mm2 radial (with 40A mcb) originally for an electric hob/cooker, the cooker switch/socket has been replaced with a double socket and the wiring continues to a double socket behind electric oven (one used for the oven). Nearby there is a single socket on the ring main which has 3 spurs off of it, one for a socket behind the fridge (normal 2.5 te) and two in flex buried in the plaster for sockets fixed in cupboards (wire just comes out of wall through back of cupboard into surface mounted pattress boxes with single sockets these are to be removed just leaving the single fridge spur) for the extractor and hob ignition circuits. I want to use the other gabg of the double socket behind oven for the hob ignition - should be no problem.
I want to chase up the wall and put a single socket for the extractor above the cupboards,
Plan A run a 6mm2 spur from the radial to the extractor socket
or
Plan B run a 6mm2 spur to a FCU(5A) and then 1.5mm2 to the socket (or
2.5mm2/13Afuse)Can I get 3 6mm2 wires in a standard terminal on the back of the existing double socket???? How difficult will it be if possible, if not how can I do it.
