Hello there,
I am considering surface conduit for my shower too.
Perhaps you could help me with a few newbie questions? As I would like to try to understand this before I commission an electrician.
1. How can trunking be preferable when one flexible conduit could get all the way from the shower to an isolation switch in the hall with zero joints for water to get in?
2. How can trunking be preferable when conduit could have a waterproof join to the shower case by using a gland?
(I'm assuming there is a round hole in the case for the wires to go in as the Triton T70Z online instructions say:
"The cable can be surface clipped, hidden or via 20mm conduit")
3. I agree with Coljack that conduit would look better in a bathroom beside pipes. My bathroom will have a horizontal run of pipes at waist height, surface mounted using 'Talon' screw-in plastic pipe clips. The clips join together so that the pipes are evenly spaced. The obvious way for me to route conduit is join on an extra clip and run the conduit parallel with the pipes. Does that sound acceptable?
Thanks,
David
