electric fire wiring

[Dazz0i]

A switched FCU, taken from the ring main to isolate the the fire itself.

The cable from the fused spur, does it have to go ceiling/floor, then either back up/down to the un-switched socket that'll be behind the fire? Or, is it ok to run the cable directly horizontally between the FCU and socket?

Cheers.

if it's on the same wall and doesn't go round a corner or anything, ad as long as they are at the same height then you can go horizontal..

what is the rating of the fire?
how often will it be used?

it is on the same wall, and doesn't go round a corner.

Not sure on the rating of the fire. it's currently in the property, and they want it moving to another room.

i believe it's currently installed using a 13amp fused plug.
