Try to find one with same cable and water entry and it is a piece of cake to fit. Double check cable cores are done up tightly, loose connections causes fires.

The shower i am looking at is 10.5kw so should be all good. I Will be looking for someone to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would never go higher atleast with staying the same or going lower you know there won't be an issue. I'm sure it is 10mm cable and probably not be an issue but I never risk it go like for like and you know you can't go wrong. I'm more than happy to fit always looking for work and if I can help a fellow city fan out then fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
