[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 396689, member: 1408"] I think it is in fact , a deviation , Dave . Just because its IP rated doesn't prevent the action of plugging in an electric fan heater ....propping it on the soap dish across the bath and jumping in . I was asked by the son of an elderly couple to quote to rewire their house . The old guy took me round , in the bathroom , right next to the bath was a socket , wired in figure 8 door bell cable , clipped to skirting with those insulated staples . On a low tale , plugged in , were a kettle with tea making stuff and a radio . "Always make meself a cuppa while I'm 'aving a baff ..then listen to The Archers" I've never thought about that before ......... is'nt it just a flexible cable with the addition of a braided screen ? Is that why it's difficult to find current ratings for it ? I've used miles of it ....don't tell the SY Police . [/QUOTE]
