[Guest123]

Fit a new one, but cable will have to be current regs which is 10mm twin and earth. Triton Enrich is on sale at Screwfix for only £50.

10mm. Why?

 

[lbp plg & htg]

if cust frazzled then thats what you will get lol.you need to prove circuit and fuse is up to spec. smart arse enuff for ya ?

Prove it? Are you sure, I mean really sure?

10mm. Why?

To take the load without overheating the cable. All showers of 8.5kw and above must be 10mm twin and earth minimum. If the cable run is a long one it should be increased to 12mm.

Also have to take in how the cable is ran, is it ran in a void is the void insulated etc etc etc. That's why I use a sparky, I'll concentrate on the stuff I'm good at and the same for him.

All I am saying to you is check you are insured to undertake electrical work however small you think it may be. By the way I have got a life.
