I have recently purchased a new

SH12M Elnur Manual Storage Radiator
1.70kW Storage Radiator with manual input control
Charge Acceptance (7hr): 11.9kW

We do have a separate meter which reads our Off peak power consumption.


Could anyone please help me as to how I must connect this heater to a
power supply?
What kind of wiring, switch plate etc do I need to buy and how do I
connect the main power leads to the heater terminals?
Any information will be gratefully accepted!
Thank you.

There should be a separate fuse board for off-peak circuits. The
heater should be connected to this. A double pole switch is
installed at the point where the fixed wiring changes into the heat
resisting cable that goes into the heater itself.

Switched fused connection unit (FCU) with 13A fuse in it and a flex
outlet/grip.

Double pole switches are better as they allow the heater to be
changed for a larger one without changing the outlet.

Why?

The only time we had economy 7, the whole house was economy 7, there
were no separate circuits. Thus, to do the laundry on economy 7 we just
plugged the w/m in via a plug in timer to ensure it came on at the
correct time.

So that the heaters can be connected up to that board and they will
only operate when an off-peak supply is available. The lower
immersion heater should also be connected to the same board.

were no separate circuits.

I know buildings like that. It just means that they are not wired up
for off-peak heating. If the OP wishes to use off-peak heating then
they either connect to the off-peak board (installing one if
necessary), or they slightly bodge it with a time clock.
