How to install the kitchen socket? It's too late to know after the kitchen is installed!

The kitchen can be said to be the place where the whole family uses the most electrical appliances. With the improvement of the quality of life, the original household appliances such as refrigerators, microwave ovens and rice cookers are far from meeting the needs of families.

Some more modern household appliances, such as dishwashers, disinfection cabinets, kitchen multifunctional machines, garbage processors, etc. , have entered the kitchen, supporting facilities require the kitchen to be equipped with enough power outlets for standby.

Therefore, reserving multiple power outlets has become the highlight of the kitchen circuit reconstruction project in modern home decoration.

How are the kitchen sockets arranged?

See how the most complete layout is planned!

1 Layout of kitchen electrical sockets

Generally speaking, the distance between all countertop sockets in the kitchen and the ground should be 1250- 1300mm. Generally, about four sockets are installed. Little R will also do safety socket distribution skills for appliances that are often used in the kitchen.

1. range hood

The socket of European range hood is generally about 2 150 mm-2200mm from the ground, or it is placed in the hood of range hood, 2200mm from the ground.

Chinese lampblack is generally about 2 150mm from the ground and about 250mm in the middle of the range hood. Make sure that the smoke pipe does not block the socket.

2. Gas water heater

The socket of gas water heater is generally off the ground 1800 mm-2300 mm, and the middle of gas stove is 250mm. Sockets should be considered to avoid smoking passages.

In addition, the socket of the water heater must not be installed under the water heater. Once the water heater leaks and the water flows into the socket, it is very prone to danger.

fridge

Refrigerator sockets should be placed 500mm- 1000mm from the ground on both sides of the refrigerator.

4. Microwave oven

Generally, the socket is about 1600mm from the ground (it will be more beautiful if the socket is placed in the cabinet above the microwave oven).

5. Disinfection cabinet

The general socket is about 500mm from the ground. (It's more convenient to put it behind the disinfection cabinet, so you won't dial it down when you plug in the power supply. )

6. Kitchen treasures

Generally, the socket is about 500mm from the ground (put it in the cabinet next to the sink cabinet to avoid splashing on the socket after water leakage).

7. oven

Generally, the socket is about 500mm from the ground (the socket is placed behind the oven and cannot be pulled out when plugged in).

8. Gas range (gas range electric stove)

The socket is placed in the cupboard, about 500mm from the ground.

After talking about the common layout of kitchen electrical outlets,

So how should the sockets of kitchen lamps be arranged?

2. Socket layout of kitchen appliances and lamps

1. Cabinet lamp

At the back of the cabinet where the lamp is to be installed, throw out the wire from the ground 1700mm or so, and connect the lamp to the bottom of the hanging cabinet. Switch 1300mm is flush with the socket, and pay attention to the insulation of the connector.

2. Cutting table

A small light can be installed above the vegetable cutting table (I think it is necessary), and the switch is parallel to the socket.

3. Hanging cabinet

When installing lamps and lanterns under the hanging cabinet, please reserve a line at the place where the lamps and lanterns are installed, which is 1650mm away from the ground (put the switch at the place 1250mm away from the ground and flush with the socket).

In addition to understanding the layout of sockets, we should always be vigilant in daily life to ensure the safety of electricity use.

The distance between the electric line and the gas hot water pipe should be greater than 200mm, and the distance between the electric line and other lines should be greater than 100mm.

It is forbidden to run lines on the ground of kitchen and bathroom, which must be more than 300mm from the ground, and pay attention to avoid gas pipelines. The spacing should be greater than 200 mm, and the ceiling line should keep a distance of more than 150mm from the ceiling and be fixed with pipe code. Waterproof sockets should be used in kitchens, bathrooms and balconies.

All wires in the box shall have allowance and the length shall be 200mm. When wiring, the phase line enters the switch, the zero line directly enters the lamp holder, and the phase line of the screw lamp holder should not be connected to the shell.

3 Installation requirements of kitchen socket

1. The function of the kitchen is special, and the socket in the kitchen should be avoided to be installed around the gas stove.

Many people are used to using the same socket for two appliances. If two appliances are used at the same time, it needs a lot of current, which will accelerate the aging of the lines in the wall for a long time and be prone to danger. Therefore, it is best to use sockets for electrical appliances.

3. The kitchen should not only be equipped with sockets for range hoods, refrigerators, rice cookers, etc. , but also according to the position of the console reserved 1-2 socket, convenient for adding kitchen appliances in the future.

4. It's best to install switches on some kitchen sockets to avoid the inconvenience of always plugging in when using them in the future.

5. When the socket is used with the switch, it also has the function of partially decorating the environment. In addition to the beautiful style, we should also pay attention to the cleanability of the material to save the trouble of cleaning in the future.

6. Water heaters, ovens and other high-power electrical appliances should use separate sockets, do not share a wire with other electrical appliances, and it is best to use wires with a cross-sectional area of 4 square millimeters.

The above are the main points of the kitchen socket layout. Have you all remembered it?

Don't underestimate these sockets, they can solve the power consumption problem of new appliances in the future. Otherwise, the situation that multiple appliances compete for a socket will make you bored.
