Alternative to spurs for appliances

[underdog]

Got a few spurs in a kitchen for appliances but customer doesn't like the look of a fused spur. Is there any other way like 20a dp switched or 45a 1g cooker switch or are these more hassle?

20A switch is fine so long as you do not need any further protection for a particular appliance supply, just make sure is you have a plug and socket arrangement under the counter that there is access to be able to change the fuse in the plug if required at any time.

Can someone please point me in the right direction

 

[Silly Sausage]

I disagree...

Would it be ok to put 1 spur feeding 2 appliances next to each other? I know its not ideal but would isolate if needed

What are the appliances? If its the washing machine and dishwasher I'd not do it!

my dishwasher uses no electricity. spends a lot on shoes and handbags though.

Depends on what your asking, if you're talking about supplying a hidden socket outlet for a built in appliance from a convenient location above the kitchen worktop, no problem at all, many use
bank(s) of 20A grid switches to do the same thing...

There are quite attractive FCU face plates these days that look not much different than a 20A switch plate.

What 2 appliances on 1 spur?

Don't be a ''Plonker''!!

Was going to say something like that Eng, but thought I'd confirm first, may be I'm just being to polite

 

[shanky887614]

you can have the fusing down elsewhere guys, it doesnt even really need to be acessable because you can have a big gridswitch on side for isolation

 

[mickys86]

Tbh not sure what's wrong with having a socket in cupboard next to it as long as it's going to be accessible and not stacked behind 50 cans of beans. Failing that have a grid switch maybe behind the door or somewhere that doesn't catch the eye as you walk in the room

Just re read the question. Can have 20a dp switch if the appliance is fused down with say an unswitched fuse spur or a plug top
