    UK Fixed appliance wiring colours - is non-standard ok?!?

    In fact that's not just a good idea, that's an effin' brilliant idea and now I'm furious with myself for not thinking of it before I mangled the plug 🙄😡🤣

    UK Fixed appliance wiring colours - is non-standard ok?!?

    Ooooh. Now that would've been a good idea...even though I did cut it right at the plug...but instead I decided to shear off the top of the plug to look inside but that was hopeless (couldn't see anything and destroyed everything in the process 🤣). Silly move on my part!!

    Exactly. It's so frustrating when I imagine most of these need to be cut off for installation. 😡

    I know, right?!? But is it illegal for them to have supplied one without standard colours 🤔 it is a UK supplier providing a product with a 3 pin plug....

    "E-towel" for the element part

    Thanks, yep, will try them tomorrow and see what they say. And yes, as the element isn't integral to the rad, worst comes to the worst, it seems like that part can be changed out fairly easily. (Seems ridiculous for someone other than the supplier to have to foot the bill for that though!!)

    Yeah, I guess I will call the supplier. Although I can see problems with that in that it was bought from a fancy radiator supplier, who then (it appears) source the electric elements separately and provide with those to be fitted. The radiator is basically being converted from central heated...

    No class No class 2 symbol, and no access to connection (it's in a tiny sealed thermostat head, no like an open bar/convector heater)

    I mean, I guess I could work out which one is the CPC by doing continuity test on all 3 in turn to exposed metal parts, and then hope for the best that the (digital) thermostat element isn't picky about polarity, but it's hardly ideal!

    Yep, the cores look standard - copper stranded 1.5mm2 and ok for the 1.2kw load

    No there's nothing CPC-esque at all! And yes it does need one!

    UK Fixed appliance wiring colours - is non-standard ok?!?

    Hi All Was fitting a radiator with an electric heating element (the towel rail heater type) and obviously it makes more sense to connect as a fixed appliance, rather than via a standard plug. However, flex with a standard (moulded on) plug is what it came with - odd, I thought, given that it's...
