info re old shower isolator

[stevewah]

If it is contained in trunking then 4.0 T&E is not suitable for 32A.

ok so no trunking can clip to loft floor / beams

Provided it is not prone to mechanical damage then yes.

With the mention of a loft I'd expected the cable would at least pass through some insulation.

hi ive got an unused isolator in my airing cupboard that use to run a shower. no longer have has have combi boiler feeding a new shower. the isolator sw is feed with 6mm and fuse on board is a hager mtn132 /b32. the board has rcd . i would like to add two sockets to my loft . can i add a 4mm radial feed from the 6mm isolator in in to the loft for the 2 sockets i plan to set up a gaming room up there and a heater for colder months from my son . thanks for any help should add i am in the uk

If this 6mm T&E cable is independent and straight from the DB.

Have a sparky check it’s insulation resistance test…!! ( in case it’s an old cable that’s had a tough life).

If it’s all GOOD.!

Treat it like an extension.!

DB1 with a 40amp feeding your 6mm to a DB1/1 mini board in your loft to feed 2x radial sockets and as you mentioned.!!! Lights & possibly a Heater….!!!!

As you mentioned your kids might be up there.
PLEASE PLEASE install an interlinked Smoke/Heat detector..
