What other types of cables can be chased into walls?

Wanted to use a switched fcu outside the bathroom in t&e but then maybe some flex from that going into the bathroom under the bath for a whirlpool ?

So it's a wind up then. Best call a mod, I'll give Andy a shout

Then he must be too busy unpacking to respond...

Murdoch - see what you mean on the previous posts...

...he's obviously decided to scrap the 10mm t+e in favour of a bit of flex!

I was thinking the same thing, hopefully the OP will return and confirm either way so we can help him avoid electocution, Must be careful what is said here as the team are waiting to pounce and ban any unfriendly remarks. I hope the OP understands we want to help not take the pees.

So you've got a massive body but a tiny little heed, there's another face put to a name.

I removed my like from that post as it wasn't clear that I was liking the comment and not the pic.

I genuinely am worried about the op and I mean it. He was going to put a 10mm2 cable into a joint box under the bath to feed the bath and the shower. He then said the shower would be a seperate run and it was 9.5kw, so we were okay with that and hopeful it was okay. Then the whirlpool bit got all confused and over the place, looks like a flex from a 13 amp spur is going in now. The last time we chatted he couldn't confirm the load of the whirlpool, hopefully he knows what it is now and will let us know.
