My parents got their water tank all urgently replaced there by a plumber at the weekend, after it leaked everywhere. Plumber didn't wire in the immersion heater part, understandably. I have experience and can wire an appliance to a fused spur no problem. Wiring it isn't the question, I am just not sure what I am supposed to do with the flex cable. I have the cable and fused switch spur, which plumber got for her.
Original spur is old one with no led or fuse, so will be replacing that. Not really sure how I can clip it to anything, is it fine to be just hanging over the tank, as, not sure if you can see from picture but it goes in through the front section there. I mean, there is no real heat off the tank anyway because the insulation is so good on the tank, but still was surprised. Was thinking flexi conduit or something, or is that just way OTT ? Kind of awkward with the location of the pipes etc.
