Any electricians on? Shower re-wiring.
OK, so when I bought the shower, it specced 6mm sq cable.
Sadly, it eats ceiling switches and I now think I need to go up to 10 sq mm.
I shall come out from behind the consumer unit into plastic conduit and run single 10 sq mm cables up the outside wall and in through the soffit.
Questions:
What size earth conductor? They always seem smaller in twin and earth.
Is 25 mm conduit going to be OK?
Any comments?
My reason for doing it like this is that dragging a new 10 sq mm twin and earth right through the house isn't practical.
However...I DO have two 6 sq mm cables, one not used. What's to stop me using both doubled up to produce 12 sq mm?

I have TWO 6mm sq cables running from consumer unit to shower, only one is connected.
I cannot get a sensible reply as to why I cannot simply connect the second to the consumer unit and then both into a Henley Block at the shower end, with 10mm sq from there to switch and to shower?
