Connecting a shaver point to a shower circuit.

[ChrisElectrical88]

Hi. I want to install a shaver point in a bathroom for a fussy landlord, but she only wants it to be used when the shower is on, not sure why. I am going to wire it off the shower circuit and cut down the cores so I can fit them all in 15A connector blocks in the loft. Is this ok? If not what regulation prevents thing?

Yuk!

For starters, somewhere in section 5 it says not to reduce cores down (will look up later). Second....how on earth is that meant to work in practice? So, I'll just leave a 10kW shower running whilst I nip to have a shave?? Madness!

If you DO end up having to proceed with this, what's wrong with just coming off the downstream side of the isolator in 1mm?

if replies tell you why u shouldn't, are u sure you won't do it anyway and ask for proof why you can't?

Can you back this up with any regs? I don't care what you say this is how I want to do it.

No problem, use 60 amp connectors instead and wire a bit of 6mm2 to it and feed your shed as well, no harm done as there is no reg saying you cannot, so why be a sheep and follow the crowd, perhaps to get your post count up? :biggrin5:

Well......on account of not being able to track down the reg that I thought existed about cutting cores down, then NO! On a serious note, where am I not looking?! Is it previous book and now been removed for some reason???
