10mm T&E to 6mm T&E

[littlespark]

There’s quite a few of us in Scotland if you need an “eyes on” recommendation.
but I see nothing wrong with what’s been proposed so far.

If it is all "indoors" as an attached garage then go with the physically easier option of the 10mm-6mm join and keep it on the RCD side with a 32A breaker.

Make sure you have a proper JB that will take 10mm though. Something like this:

60A Junction Box 3 Terminal White

A selected range of special purpose moulded and stainless steel accessories

With there being a 10mm T+E, maybe a 50amp Crabtree oblong 4500 DP switch in the attic.

Hi

I have recently had a bathroom replaced which had an electric shower, this was changed out for a mixer shower off the combi boiler.

The shower cable is a 10mm twin and earth which was pulled back to loft space and JB'd.
A 40amp cb fed the shower.

I am wondering if it is ok run a 6mm supply to my garage, tying into the above JB with the 10mm cable?

There will be a garage consumer unit installed which has a 40amp 30ma rcd, 32amp and 6amp cbs fitted.

The 10mm cable appears to be a horrendous,tight run hense reason asking if ok to utilise jb for supply.

Thanks

What KW is the shower??

Personally I would fork out for a bit of 10mm, which for that amount will not be super expensive, and keep it all the same.

After almost a year I suspect it's all been sorted by now...
