Night storage Heater

[fellsider]

I need to move the position of a night storage heater. Is there a maximum distance from the switch that the heater can be fixed?

No, BUT the switch is a LOCAL means of isolation so should be still under the control of a person working on the heater, and if a longer flex is used should be no longer then required to meet volt drop and or other wiring regs requirements.

How far away from the switch do you want it?

Don't try and move it with the bricks in. Let it cool down and take the bricks out before moving it.

If fitting a new flex, make sure it's heat resistant flex.

I read the point about the volt drop and would a

live Zs measurement be advisable following the

fitting of a longer flex?

Would this justify a Minor Works?

If a like for like replacement, I would say that an MWC is not needed Tech, but I would do one Myself to make sure My rear end is covered.

You are going to pi$$ people off if you carry on making pointless posts.
