Hydrotherapy bath cable size

[Harry747]

I am hoping one of you kind gentlemen can help. I am having the bathroom turned into a wet room which is being tanked Friday. I am also having a hydrotherapy bath installed. As the wiring up is not being done until after the tanking so the cable or cables need to be laid before the tanking starts as there will not be access to lay any cables afterwards. The hydro bath has two leads from it. I have attached photos of where the two leads come from. Could any of you please tell me what size cable should be laid under the tanking ready to be wired up when the electrician comes to do his bits. I am a disabled veteran and the British Legion is providing the tradesmen hence why I do not know who the electrician is yet to ask him. Many thanks in advance. Harry.

be a good idea to see a pic of the leads, and how long are they? also, surely the BL should be able to get the electrician round to install any cabling that needs to be done before tanking.

You will nead to get the electrian to run the cables in for you as there are regulation of were you can route them , i sugest the ask the British Legion to send the spark around before so he can run the cables in , then he can come back after the tanking is completed ,from your pictures it looks like you will need a 2.5mm size cable

I recommend you delay your tanking AND get a sparky round........

Thanks for all the information. All the existing wiring is going to be re-used, its just the hydro bath which is new. I just presumed it was going to be routed along the base of the wall where all the existing wiring is already. Its only a 4 metre run and I didn't want to bother them as they have done so much already. Ill speak to the legion and see if they can send someone early to lay it. Thanks again for all that replied.
