Shower Install

[Ray4438]

Found this today while doing a electrical check on a rented property of shower connected with terminal block (15 amp) and roughly into wall....

Asked householder how long it had been like this "oh must have been like that since before I came into the house"

Furthermore cable was then attached to stair treads going upstairs with bloody nails bent over under carpet..

We just rewired a 9.5kw shower wired in 2.5mm tw&e, through a 20A switch we found under the bath and back to the board via bent nail clips round the skirting. About 16m run. The cable was then connected to the 32A cooker circuit so you could not use both at the same time. Suprisingly the cable looked and tested fine when we pulled it out. It had been in over a year and was the shower was used often.

Took a few pics but they are on my old phone. This was one of the remedial jobs listed on the Test sheets i posted on another thread

Nothing worse than following shoddy work. Fresh installs FTW!
