Combi Electrics
Hi.
How do I connect the combi to the elctric circuit? Can I branch off a nearby wall socket with a standard 13 Amp switched spur http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/MKK1040.html There are two 3 amp fuses with combi but they would be too small for the fuse cradle in the spur. Thanks.

There are two 3 amp fuses with combi but they would be too small for the fuse cradle in the spur. If they are the small glass ones, they are probably replacements for something inside the boiler. Just use a normal fuse in the spur Sparks... |
