My plumber is redoing my bathroom and has requested that I arrange for a 3amp spur to be available for the installation of a Digital HP/Combi Shower.
I have two options but not sure which is the best one to choose.
1. When the old electric shower is removed, I replace the 40Amp MCB with a 6amp MCB, leave the 6mm T&E and fit a 3amp socket on the end.
or
2. I have an electrical socket in the loft ( right next to where the Digital Shower is being installed). I could wire a 3amp plug on the end of the shower unit and simply plug it in next to the boiler.
Are either/both to code?
