Blackpowder Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Are any electricians on here able to help me with a brass std from their bits and pieces box. It is for GET cooker outlet where there are 3 connections with oven and stove top connected together. My oven blew up on Sunday fitting a replacement today one of the locking studs dropped below the units and rolled below floor boards. Visited Electrical factors and bought replacement cooker outlet box but of course the design has changed. Ranged the internet looking for spare studs and found zilch, a pointer in this direction would be useful. The locking stud is about 9mm long and 5-6mm in diameter. Thanks in anticipation.

Diver One Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Is it one of the grub screws that connect the cable into the plate on the wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remimax Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) does the cooker outlet plate screw into a white surface single box or sunk in the wall single steel box. if yes then just replace the outlet plate forget about trying too replace the screw on the old one. just seen you bought one whats the issue with fitting it ?

Diver One Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 The get you out of the carp trick is to use supplied connections for live and neutral then use a short fly lead to the metal back box earth terminal and use this in a connector to connect all ,the earths together and in turn earth the metal box. "Wago" are the best option for this there is little interchangeability between electrical threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again to all for taking the trouble to reply. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
