I swear to God you're gonna start seeing some abuse in a minute if you don't settle down!!
NOBODY HERE HAS ABUSED YOU YOU PITY SEEKING LOP!
It wasn't your suggestion about using 6mm cable on an 8.5kW shower that was wrong, this was just inaccurate. What was wrong however was for you to 'suggest' in the first place! What is so bleeding hard for you to understand?! You've been told God knows how many times already!
No matter how much detail you go in to about cable calcs, design, derating blah blah blah, when you are describing how to do something to a plumber on an ELECTRICIAN'S forum, all they will see is "put an 8.5kW shower on a 6mm cable".
Please tell me that this has sunk in finally?!
It is only your assumption and opinion that the OP will only gleam a section of my reply to him, and use it out of context.
Like it or not that is fact.
For that reason your argument is flawed.
The problem is, you are finding it difficult to comprehend that I am failing to bow to, as said, your opinion.
When reading instructions, advice, reports or anything else.
You read the entirety of what’s being said.
If you fail to do that, and take sentences out of context, you do so at your own peril, and that’s certainly not the fault of the writer.
Internet searches will provide many opinions and statements on all kinds of subjects, so the OP can freely read whatever he chooses.
My comments were not inaccurate, and I certainly did not say the OP could use a 6mm cable for an 8.5kw shower end of.
Although circumstances permitting, a 6mm cable will suffice.
The OP is a plumber, presumably by trade and plumbers are not idiots.
In fact I have come across many plumbers who have a very respectable knowledge of electric’s within there own field of expertise.
So to conclude,
I disagree with your analogy; I respect a few others on the forum may well back you with your analogy.
I think you are wrong to be so persistent and just accept that people can, and will, have opinions that differ from yours.
Learn to accept that, without blowing a head gasket.
Now to use your own words,
Please tell me that this has sunk in finally?!
End of conversation,
Its time to move on lad.
