Electric shower feed

[js3121]

Hi all.
A few little question
When installing a new elctric shower, can the cable and cold feed come through the same hole? (Uk)

Can we use push fits to conect it to the shower feed?

Is hep pipe work OK to run right to the shower feed down the wall?

Many thanks in advance

Afaik yes to all. Check with shower instructions as to how to connect.

Thanks Chris, Is there anywhere on here or online that I can get a book with all regs in for plumbing ? Done a search but I guess there are millions of searches

For regulations, it depends because plumbers have to adhere to building regulations as well as water regulations. Probably better asking on here exactly what you want.

An important question is if the cable is sized correctly for your new shower?

What was the old shower kw?
What’s the new shower kw?
What size is the cable feeding the shower/current shower breaker?

If you had a 9kw in there and decided to upgrade to say a 12kw, and whoever ran the original cable went with the minimum cable size (6mm), that 6mm won’t be big enough for anything larger.
