Where in the regs does it state that an electric shower requires individual dp isolation, ie a 50A pullcord. The circuit is protected by DP 30mA 63A RCD and 40A SP MCB at the main board.
Reason for asking, i fitted new CU (due to fire damage) and done away with the separate RCD that had been...

Hi all, just replaced the washer on my full valve. All works ok but is there a particular way these should be fitted due to the cross/nipple seen on the picture? I have taken pictures of both sides.

Until a few days ago, I had assumed that if you'd signed up for FiTs with no export meter (<30kWp), then you got deemed output and go paid 50% of what you generated for export.
Bearing in mind that MOST people actually export more than 50% (even the 2.5kWp systems) because it is difficult to...
