I've been renovating the G/Fs bathroom this week, upon going to turn offthe shower supply, I found that it was supplied from a really old fusebox, as well as looking like it is a spur from the cooker supply.There are no RCDs anywhere in system.To make the shower a little safer, I would like to fit a RCD to it.Would something like this be suitable:I presume, to fit this, I would disconnect the supply to the pullswitch, fit the supply to the RCD, then the output to the pull switch?Ta for any thoughts.Alan.

Is the cooker still in use?Where does ths cooker cable come from ? A CU?Is the cable in use up to the job iro the shower rating?

RCD for shower?

Yes I noticed that and tried to search for the details of the patent but I got bogged down in rubbish sites, did you find a detailed listing?

regulation and anti-scald rather than the uniqueness of the uninsulated element but the need for long insulating flow tubes is mentioned.
