I'm about to install a 10.5kW shower about 12m from my consumer unit.
I know i can get away with using 6mm cable provided it does not exceed a particular length (which it doesn't) and it is clipped. Question is, does it have to be clipped at regular intervals along its entire length, or just a percentage of its length? I can easily clip the section of cable that will pass through the loft, which will be about 60% of the run, but the rest will be dropped down inaccessible walls so i won't be able to clip those sections. Is this satisfactory, or am i going to have to resort to using unclipped 10mm?
I'm keen to do all the labour intensive work myself before calling in the pro's to get it the Part P tick in the box.
Cheers.
