Question here is; the shower 100 cable twin & Earth; this earth cable is routed inside the shower to the earth terminal and also continues marked as an "Inlet Earth Wire" onto the C.W supply metal fitting; so in effect would provide earth bonding; No, that will provide EARTHING. I have...

A Gas Safe Registered plumber told me that a non electric powered Shower should have its own 6mm earth cable fitted to both its own hot and cold water supply copper pipes then routed direct only into the consumer board; is this correct. Then all other cross bonded copper pipes; i.e. basin...

Out of curiosity; if bonding is fitted; does this have any detrimental or negative effect just by trying to be over safe.

Thanks for you comments............. So to summarise..........................? The 9.8 Kwh Shower is connected via 10mm Twin & Earth wire to D.P. 50 amp ceiling pull cord switch with neon and flag and 10mm cable is then taken direct to 30ma RCD and then to Consumer Board ? References...

Thanks for the comments. Regarding the 6mm single Earth cable; should this should be connected to Basin H & C, Cistern CW, Shower CW supply copper pipes to bond them all; if so......should this cable be routed direct to the consumer board or connected to an existing; for example Junction box...

Thanks for the constructive comments; I understand that the Twin and Earth 10mm cable that is to be connected to the Shower must go direct to the Consumer board; it'll be fitted by the electrician including 30 milliamp RCD on its own circuit.

Thanks for the comment; yes the electrician will be sorting this including all new consumer board work; a 30 milliamp RCD

I am upgrading an old bathroom that had Bath, toilet, Cistern, C.H. Radiator and converting it to a Shower bathroom; no Bath. Before any work is done; I investigate; make drawings of ALL plumbing; pipe routings and electric routings; taking photographs of inaccessible areas under the floor...

I appreciate that normally for safety reasons you cannot have two electric showers fittind in a house due to the loading limitations. However. Question: Could one electric shower be low kw and the other be; say 8.5kw or 9 kw if the two seperate 10mm circuits had an isolating switch that cut...

I have a hot water cylinder; vented into a large loft header cold water tank connected to an economy 7 timer that gives me two good hot mixer showers a day before it goes cold Question: Can two hot water cylinders be used with the same setup; economy 7 timer connected to two cylinders; for...

None of us are perfect and we all make mistakes as amateurs; however when you engage a professional electrician to do a job and specifically ask him not to place wires on the only beam that is listed in a listed building this was what happened: after a few days I visited the site; opened the...

Thanks for the input; all sorted and tested now job done.

There are now so many different solar panels that it is confusing as to which ones will last the longest. Does anyone have experience with solar pv and what do they think about it. How long really will these panels last in practical terms. I understand that solar pv roof tiles last longer; any...

:D Thanks to all of you for your input........problem solved....discarded three gang switch, run new cables down under the plaster metal conduit; only just managed it; tight squeeze; fitted two gang switch; created new circuit in loft and all tested works a treat; should have done this in the...

Cable ends up at bathroom light; that's what I thought. A colleague of mine tells me that it should go direct to the consumer unit via 16 mmm earth cable from consumer into the loft area then connected to the 6mm bathroom earth bonding. Any comments on that.

Bath or shower rooms: Until 2nd July 2008 The 16th edition of the wiring regulations applied as well as the 17th edition. From that date all installations must comply with the 17th edition only. The new requirement is for all electrical equipment in bath and shower rooms to be bonded together...

I understand that Bathroom earth bonding must "not" be connected direct to the consumer box; but connected to; for example; a socket outlet in a circuit; i.e. mains 2.5mm power circuit. Can this earth be connnected via a 1.5mm lighting circuit for example or not.

My electrical power sockets have been wired with grey twin and earth 2.5mm via 30 amp junction boxes. Who did this; unknown. The single 2.5mm grey twin and earth wiring originates from the consumer box with RCDs then runs to the first junction box; off this is a single grey twin and earth...
