[QUOTE="JasonA, post: 486798, member: 31838"] Hi Spoon and Telectrix, Thanks so much for replying! Top blokes! This is my first ever post on this forum. Funny, I have "notify me of replies" ticked, but it didn't tell me you'd replied: I came on here to check. Here's what I was planning: It won't be wired into a plug, I was planning to "tap off" of another supply either by hard wiring into the back of an existing socket or from a supply to an existing heater. That would run straight into a fused switched spur, to switch on or off the supply to the heaters. Then the wire would run along the wall to the thermostat, then from the thermostat off to one heater, then continue on to the other heater. One is 500W, the other is 600W. Close to each heater would be another fused switched spur so they could be switched on and off individually if desired, rather than both at the same time, all the time (the heaters are pointing at different areas of the room). So, for the run from the supply to the thermostat and on to the heaters, I was wondering what size flex I need, as it will determine the size of trunking I buy. Thanks again for your help, very kind. Cheers, Jason. [/QUOTE]
