If it’s in trunking then why don’t you use singles rather than t&e?I would love to extend using MICC however a, the customer won’t pay for it, b, the installation method doesn’t warrant it as it will be in trunking.

I could but I already have T&E. Zs on circuit is good and T&E is fine for adiabatic, no bonding to worry about as it’s a distribution circuit.If it’s in trunking then why don’t you use singles rather than t&e?
It's super fun, though I've only had the chance to do it once in a house on a 2L4 that got damaged by a builder waving his circular saw around.
That's the more fun option! For extra super fun, extend the cable with MI by silver soldering the conductors then a brass sleeve over the joint filling it with magnesium oxide powder as you slide it over. I wonder if Pyrotenax still make the sleeves for this type of joint?
Depends on situation. As a rule it's swa feeding a DB, especially considering the situation and earth required.
Could really push the boat out and get some more MICC.

I think you are thinking about the kits that require pots and glands to be fitted to each cable? I am thinking of where the conductors are jointed end on and the brass tube is only a little bigger than the cable, not requiring any pots or glands. I can't find my Pyrotenax handbook right now to scan in. The procedure looks quiteYou can still get the brass joint sleeves, but I wasn't aware that pyrotenax had ever recommended filling them with powder?
All of the literature i've seen for them say each end should be potted as usual and no filling of any type was advised for the joint sleeve.

That just depends on what access to run you have. It might be above a ceiling and through a wall, which, in an existing kitchen such as this, it could well be.For a couple of metres steel conduit and singles would be my preferred option usually.

If there is a much heat as you said, T&E is not the first choice for me. I have a done a lot of kitchen referbs in hotels and schools pubs even a nuclear power station.Seriously? Extending MICC with T&E?
