Spurring of Shower isolator.

[Top Cat]

if you can fit an extra cable in with the 2 ten mm's then your a better man than me lol

It's a lump hammer and crow bar for just the 2 x 10mm cables in a pull switch!

I would say if it's on a 32a fuse go for it just protect your cable to spur don't think switched spur terminals are rated any higher before they melt.

Short answer is NO

 

[High Tower]

It's the fact that you would need to get a 3rd 10mm2 cable in to the pull cord and then terminate that in a patress with the 10mm connected to the supply side of a FCU!, good luck with that!!

I don't thin that's the issue as you could back fuse up to 3m, so if it's going to a 13a fcu. Then it could be 2.5.

I just don't see that it complies, an there must be a better way. I wouldn't do it myself.

It was a joke!, common sense says that you shouldn't!, how is any spark in future going to know that a light or similar is on the shower circuit!!, potential for a dangerous situation!!

 

[rich.250]

Or even 1.5 lol

My point exactly high tower. Bad practice I would say. Tin hat on.

Could take time to find that, as you wouldn't expect it.

What's wrong with a 4x4x2 adaptable box & 80a line taps then refeed shower switch and fused new spur!!!!
its better than a 2.5 coming out the shower pull Sw which he could of done without coming on here

Or he could just find a Rfc or radial. Lol

Yes true but Im talking on how I read the question nothing else there other than shower feed, what I suggest is safe and does comply he could put detailed info at CU for the next spark who walks through the door.

Ive seen in past a cooker and a shower and a 1mm all on a 6/10 mm unprotected

I do agree that it will be a safe installation mate.

But I don't see how it complies with the designated cct for items using 2kw or more under 17th.

What's that reg I will have a look,
but I think the reg to this guy wont be acknowledged rather than stickin to reg and trunking up his wall by spuring of a ring circuit

 

[rich.250]

I will have a look. In a sec when I got my bgb

Appendix 15 is where I seen it. Although tbh I don't think it is valid in this circumstance now.....
Although manufacturers specify a independent cct.
