9.5kw shower

[BD10NER]

hello again guys, bloody nephew has changed his mind again and now ordered a 9.5kw leccy shower from triton
he has told me he spoke to a chap in city electrical factors and the chap told him he needs to get 16mm cable
which he has gone and done at a cost of £60 for 12m, i mean i'm not a sparky by any means but surely wouldn't
a 9.5kw run off 6mm/10mm cable, he's wanting to buy parts hoping to save on cost when sparky come to wiere
and route the cable.

and 6mm clipped direct is ample for 9.5kW. as long as the run is <20yards. last week i had to go back to 1 i had installed as 1 of the switch terminals had burnt a little. only been in 15 years.

send him to B&Q. galvanized watering can £8.99 and 50p for a piece of string to pull and tilt the can. job sorted for under a tenner.

hold onto the 16mm. Wait two years.

then sell it as stripped scrap for twice what you paid for it.

Did he have a witness to the advice from CEF shop assistant If yes take it back demand a refund
They are a big company and can afford a young lad to have made a mistake
No witness take it back and ask for it to be exchanged for 10mm at same price no extra charge to him
any hassle tell em you will report em to trading standards

Is it my imagination or does every CEF counter sales person seem to be on some graduate scheme and have very soft hands and a nice tie?

"for hands that do dishes".......:crazy:

Staff are there to sell what the customer asks for if he says you need this then he is way over his payscale. I bet the branch manager would not be happy if all his staff give poor design advice over the counter
That is why CEF has a number of specialist departments to give advice they can back up all he needed do was make a call
PS was the Lad 17th edition qualified
PPS worked for CEF a while ago
PPPS oh how the ignorant are punished
