It's only rated at 3amps... to be incorporated in a control circuit. DO NOT USE.
From your point of view, a small extension lead incorporating a switched socket with indicator is the cheapest way, safety wise...depending on the heater size.Ok, thanks for the advice, Off to Ebay returns it goes. Thanks for your help. Can you recommend me any other setup for this situation?
20A double pole switch will do, only use it when you have to though use the switches on the heater where possible.Ok, thanks for the advice, Off to Ebay returns it goes. Thanks for your help. Can you recommend me any other setup for this situation?
Aye, reading again, fully, it seems a real problem to be messing with.Get a heater that isn't likely to set fire to the carpet or sit you existing heater on a non combustible surface because you can't watch the heater all the time with your hand over the stop switch. Remove the risk.

Could get a direct line to the fire station, maybe.
I apreciate your response, but as I say, I’m not an electrician so what you’re telling me is way beyond me.The estop should be used with a relay contractor.
You would be better looking for a direct online start stop control box and this may come with estop or you will be able to add it in circuit to work with the internal control circuit
That should be ok I would have thought.This claims to be suitable for a load of up to 15A with no additional components.Axminster Workshop NVR Switch 230V 1ph E Stop
A no-volt-release switch with the added benefit of a prominently positioned lock-on emergency stop button. It is capable of switching up to 15 amps, 230 volts. It has a no-volt-release feature, but not overload protection. It is not suitable for use...www.axminstertools.com
