    Shower Circuit

    Also bear in mind any thermal effects when routing your cable. This will have a derating effect on the circuit.

    Fatally Flawed

    Many thanks for this Socketman, have a number of schools / nursery schools as customers and as you say some are still being asked for socket covers.

    Fatally Flawed

    Not just dodgey and game chargers on the market either. The PAT Testing directory - Electrical Safety Product Recall Notices Its ironic that Ofsted enforce the use of safety socket covers in number of schools / nursery schools etc.

    PAT test failed new 'touch lamps'

    The fuses are there to protect the cable supplying the equipment and not nessessary the appliance (although inevitably it does) and therefore the manufacturer could have quite easily used the higher rated fuse based on the cable used.

    FCU for a Boiler

    BRG P362 outlines your options. IMO the FCU for the boiler should be accessible? Would this be the case?

    overheating switch

    Would agree, fit a quality switch. Makes a big difference. Had a simliar recent one with an electric shower. Turned out the origional switch was a cheap 'Tenby' switch ex-local authority spec :red card New switch fitted, problem solved. ;)
