Hi
I also posted this on the DIY Electrical Advice - Electrical Appliances Forum
My Kitchen has never had a cooker hood installed.
Where the new hood is going to be situated is some distance from any of the outlets in the kitchen ring main.
However there is a cable coming out of the wall near where the hood is going that was originally intended for one of a pair of wall lights that were never installed. the cable ends are terminated into a choc block as is the end of the other cable where the other wall light was going to be on a nearby wall.
Can I attach the cooker cable (which has no supplied plug)to the corresponding terminals in the choc block of the nearby cable, and fit a double pole fused connection unit - protected with a 13amp fuse or a 3amp to the other unused wall light cable?
Hope this makes sense
Brian
