Don't insult people you know nothing about.

I could say same with questioning people you know nowt about but doesn’t help OP.... If what you wrote isn’t what you meant or made lots of assumption that no-one apart from yourself could know then confusion will happen....

If you wish to pick bits that suit you to argue and ignore the other points knock yourself out glad I could help....

Terminals for sockets, switches etc are designed to take specific cable sizes e.g. 10mm cable from cu feeding the outlet incoming feed terminals are designed for 10mm then outgoing load terminals (even if type where they are one in the same)maybe 4mm 6 mm but cooker itself the cable could be 1, 1.5 or 2.5 mm ( its wired into a plug gives you a good indicator as to its size ) ditto for cable grip dito cable itself multi strand etc If you wish to argue terminating 1mm into a terminal designed for 10mm is good safe practice be my guest:rotfl:

Well I suggest you contact all manufacturers and advice they all update their data sheets with "min cable size" as EATON, Tyco, MK and the likes only list MAX cable size on their data sheets, but I'm sure you know better than their engineers

Oh, and since when do wall mounted switches have cable grips....:rotfl:

They don’t say not too lick termination point either doesn’t mean you should.... I,m sure you right only the maximum matters....Its pointless and not helping OP feel free to thank each other into oblivion.....

Yes, but data sheets tell you about their product! If it states a max it should also state a min. If it mattered, at least one manufacturer would display that info. The fact none provide it is evidence enough that it's not relevant. End of the day, regardless of terminal size, it's just a screw providing a clamping load onto a cable, but it's ok, because you know more than the manufacturers and the IET. :rotfl:

Read OP wired directly that will mean a grip in it
