When i put a socket inside a kitchen cupboard i usually drill a 55mm hole next to it with a holesaw for the plug to go through from the appliance

well I see today a kitchen fitter using an plastic insert that you push into the hole that you drill out for the plug and it has a nice lid on it with a cable holder

looks very professional and i wanted to get hold of some for my future installs, any body know what im going on about, what they are actually called and where i can get some from???

many thanks

I get scared when these words are used together :tongue:
 
and cruel. makes the mice take the long route to the biscuits.
 
I had mice living in the top of my washing machine years ago. Only realised when the door seal leaked and I pulled the thing out to see a pile of coloured bits on the floor.
The cat used to bring them in, then lose them. Guess they found a cozy home :)
 
I thought you couldn't put sockets in cupboards any more, Sockets for all under worktop appliances to be switched via spur-point. Saves any unauthorised persons getting involved with electrics if kitchen cupboards get removed.
Councils electricians round this way use those Desk Cable Tidy Grommet BLACK WHITE BROWN GREY 80mm | eBay though actual kitchen worktops! Thats to save putting in spur points!

No quite the opposie actually the reg(cant recall exact no. Off the top of my head) has been slightly re-written in the 17th regs which allows sockets in cupboards

i personally much favour it, theres no problem at all with it from my view as long as common sense is applied

it also looks much neater than loads of switched spurs all over the place
