Electric Radiator

Hi Guys,
New on here so please be gentle...

I am a bit stuck, I have just purchased a 1500W electric radiator, and I am stuck between using butyl HR 1.5mm or 2.5 PVC HR, is the 2.5mm a bit overkill ? would 1.5mm do the job? it will be going to a 13amp Fused Spur then back to the CU on its own circuit on a 16amp MCB.

The radiator will be used 4/5 hours of the day.

Should be fine off the top of my head

2.5 overkill I'd say

1.5mm would do the job fine ?

agree with both above posts. 1.5mm would be OK for 2 of them. (3kW).
