Steve. Its common practice to use flexible plastic ducting...never had a problem with it provided it is not torn or holed.You can use 100mm soil pipe if you wish if you have straight runs. The main problem you will encounter as far as extraction rate is the type of fan you...

Hi Steve, ...You say " does the guy know what he is talking about". You say he was an Electrician so why doubt him ? ..If you went to see your Doctor and he said you had a cold.would you post on a Medical site stating "does the guy know what he is talking about"/ I hope for your...

Greengrass , as your making Alterations to the installation you will need to make sure the existing circuit[s] you are working on are up to standard...this will include verification of RCD protection as spark123 has stated. You will need to test the job properly when completed.If it is in your...

Hi again Coljack. My apologies on not giving a full and concise answer to your original post. ...As Sparkyspike correctly points out the sleeving does has another purpose in addition to Identification and that purpose is for Mechanical and chemical /electrorolytic protection of the...

No the full length of conductor within the enclosure is required to be sleeved

Hi Coljack. in order to comply with the regs ALL conductors require identification.That is the SOLE purpose of the G/Y sleeving it is not an insulating sleeve in any way shape or form. Protective conductors do not require insulation. that is why T&E is allowed to be produced with the bare...

Bigtom it looks to me you have a TNCS or TNS supply system with a Ze of maybe approx 0.16 ohms [ speculative statement] I would say the two cables with two sockets on each are two ends of an original ring final circuit which somebody has split somewhere...the other cables with one socket on...

Dave your reply contained a fair number of assumptions..ie. ifs and buts.. You are right about the possible no requirement for Notification..however there are a lot of consdiderations to be taken into account before advising against it.... If you look at the O.P. it did state he was intending...

Chris it would be helpful if before posting you gathered together the correct information for other members to give suitable advice. in your o.p. you indicated the two showers were supplied from the one cable, you are now producing information that suggests this is not in fact the case. ..This...

And if you come to sell your house, what will you say when the Buyers Surveyor asks about the relevant paperwork and checks the B.C data base for the notification.........oops !

Dann , your obviously doing this work yourself. Be advized that you have a Legal obligation to inform your Local Building Control Dept BEFORE you start, and they will need to inspect it before and after. ...Big fine hanging over you if you dont, they could also force you ro rip it all out again

Industryspark is giving good advice here Axel. There are many factors to be taken into consideration on this proposed supply. If it is intended to utilize the earthing system from the main house then .it is quite possible a 3-core 10mm cable will be required. Industryspark was...

Chris. If you have had this second shower fitted then get the idiot back who did it and get him/her to do it properly and safely. if this bodge job was part of the existing electrics when you aquired the property then contact a qualified Electrician to.... A. wire in...

And you may want to tell Mr Building Control about it too if this is in a domestic property !

So you have two cables looping at the first shower, I dont think two 10mm cables would fit in the terminals of a shower. maybe two 6mm cables would fit, so lets assume your supply circuit is 6mm. usually the maximum shower that can be installed on this size cable is 8.5 kw { there are factors...
