Ok, sounds good to me, Thanks folks 6mm it is

Extract from instructions This dryer is supplied without an electric cord and plug. It must be connected by a competent electrician to a single-phase electricity supply at the voltage shown on the dataplate, using a suitable fixed wiring installation in accordance with local and national wiring...

I initially thought that i would need 4mm cable but the manufacturers instructions do say 2.5mm.

so lets change the question slightly, 32amp mcb to under counter Connection Unit with a 20A accessible switch?

Ive got an american style tumble dryer that must be hard wired. The instructions state minimum 2.5mm cable from a 30 amp supply. It is 4.5KW, can i have it from the 32 amp MCB that i have spare to a 20 amp Fused Switch? I can find any 30 - 32amp fused switch units so the next one up is a...

what if i capped off the two terracota pipes with screw access caps and ran a 50mm pipe from the kitchen, past the bathroom and into the existing soil pipe ?

Also, i need to extend the soil pipe up and out of the extension but the current pipe is 75mm cast iron, is there a connecter i can buy for joining on 110mm pvc?

Here is a crude drawing of the setup, the red box shows where the extension will cover. Any suggestions for the airlock issue?

Can I just use this? And solvent weld the waste connection

I should have taken a photo but it's dark now and there's no flash! My kitchen sink waste flows into an old cast pipe about the diameter of a rainwater pipe, this was on the external wall of the house. The cast pipe then disappeared under the ground where it connected into the drainage by...

I'm having one of those days where you stare at something for ages but to no avail. I have one of those 'all in one' shower units that you get off eBay and we had it installed before with no 's bend' or trap as it discharged into an open drain. Still not ideal I know but it was temporary...
