    Immersion Stat

    Just doing some minor works on a friends new (old) house. She had an EIC done for insurance purposes. The immersion stat was flagged up as a C1 as it was the old style with no thermal cut out. question is, would you really put that as a C1 on a 20 year old installation? Just wondering.
