I've completely gutted my bathroom in my 1950's house....everything is gone, so I can start from scratch.
The only electrics that are needed in the bathroom (apart from overhead lighting) are a couple of 350 watt heated towel rails, a shaving socket, 3 amp power shower (not an electric shower!), and some mirror lights.
I have a dedicated 2.5 mm T&E running from the new consumer unit to the 2KW immersion heater which is close to the bathroom. It is protected by a 16 amp MCB and is only used rarely and usually at night for Economy 7.
Any reason why I cannot use this circuit to power the above appliances in a radial layout? Each appliance would have its FCU hidden in the airing cupboard where the hot water tank is. I don't want to break into the normal ring main unnecessarily.
Is the 16 Amp MCB sufficient?
Thanks for your advice.
