Thanks, that is interesting.

Thanks for your advice. Will contact a pro and get that changed to an RCD or whatever is needed.

Sorry got busy yesterday rebuilding my nephews laptop. Its the larger group on the right.

here you go

got the kids to send me a photo. and the circuit im spurring off goes back to and MCB. it does not have the test button.

you are right. i getting muddled up. I will check when i get home from work. Thanks for the image.

Thanks, Its not in any of the bathroom zones. Switched FCU will be outside the bathroom I guess RCD protection will come from the fuse box as im spurring off one of its circuits. hope that makes sense.

Thanks all. Just to be clear. A spur using a 1.5m2 cable from my double socket to a 13amp switched fused FCU, the flex of the heating element to the FCU. This should be sufficient, safe and legal.

@EFLImpudence and @RandomGrinch, thanks for your inputs.

oh I see, thanks.

Thanks, i cant find a 3 amp switched fused spur. Would i have to make to with a 13amp switched fused spur?

Great, thanks for that.

Thanks for your reply. Just checked the online manual it has the following, i'll check the device when i get home: Voltage: 220-240VAC Power:100W-1000W

Hi All, I've just bought a 300w heating element for my towel radiator. In terms of wiring, was thinking of taking a spur using a 1.5m2 cable from my double socket to an FCU, the flex of the heating element to the FCU. Does that sound right and what amp should the FCU be? Thanks in advance...

Thanks for your insight on this.

This is a quote from local moling company. It doesn't include taking me off a joint supply. Me and the neighbour will have a 32mm connection to the pavement stop tap. We couldn't see what the Thames side of the pavement stop tap has unfortunately. If we assume lead, what would that mean for me...

Ok, so i've got a quote (£750) to get a 32mm blue pipe installed from pavement stop tap to my internal stop tap. Would that make any difference/improvements even if Thames water do not upgrade the lead at there end?

Thanks, im going to investigate getting my mains changed. Lets see how much they charge me to get my own stop tap.

Thanks, I checked with the water board and it's going to cost upwards of £3000. I checked the pipe that coming into the mains and its a lead pipe. Also had a plumber come in today. His suggestion was to go from mains to an accumulator with built in pump (Mainsboost Flomate MBF 300-1-15) then...

Thanks for your thoughts. How about having a storage combi to serve the house and an accumulator to service the electric showers only. What are your thoughts on this solution?
