Mineral Insulated Copper-Sheathed Cable
Have power to my Triton T80si fed through Mineral Insulated
Copper-Sheathed cable, some 8 metres from fuse box. This was installed prior to buying the flat last year. After some redecoration work and removing old hot air (no longer used )central heating ducting I now find myself with surplus cabling that needs re-routing and shortening by approx. 1 metre. Problems would like help on are : 1. If I cut the cable to shorten it, how do I fit a new new seal and where do I buy from? 2. Is it a DIY job or is a professional electrician needed? 3. Might it be OK just to loop part of the excess cable in a ducting void and keep the original seal in tact? I would need to bore larger holes (12mm min) in the thermalite walls for the re-routing. 4. If decide to get rid of shower all together and install one to run off the combi-boiler, can I easily remove the entire cabling from the fuse box? Thank you in advance for any help with the above. |
