Brace yourself this could take some time
In KME's immersion heater thread specs mentiond fitting a temporary socket to the immersion heater cable, well today i saw this in practice where the immersion heater had been removed/blanked off and the immersion heater feed had a socket connected permanently. The circuit was protected by a 15 amp wylex rewireable cartridge fuse.
I am curious to if this is common practice when the immersion heater is removed?
Also i am curious if the circuit could be used as a radial if more sockets were needed to be added?
On a side note i need to move a thermostat from the top of the stairs to the bottom of the stairs, because of both a lack of access and the homeowner not wanting a lot of dissruption i cant chase the cable into the wall so it will have to be surface run.
The problem with that is that the box room has had a built in wardrobe installed, so the wall above the stairs has that awkward shape you know where it drops vertical then slopes in 45 degrees before it runs horizontal to merge with the downstairs ceiling (i hope you know understand what i mean, it is the standard way of installing a buikt in wardrobe but is hard to describe in writing), the other problem is the walls has textured paint to fixing any trunking will mean removeing a load of the paint.
What do you reckon is the best way to run the cable round the odd shaped wall? ideally i would run the cable tight in the cornr of the walls/ wall and ceiling but trunking only do 90 degree angles.
Got any advice? What do you reckon is best? How would you run it?
Lastly, what do you guys think about coied trunking? (never used it myself, mainly because i try to avoid trunking like the plauge)
