I think its Ashley that do a large brown 60 Amp jb, I'm sure that would accept all the conductors you require to join.

Yes, much easier than DIR rail!I think its Ashley that do a large brown 60 Amp jb, I'm sure that would accept all the conductors you require to join.
I was thinking about it, but assumed I'd have a massive ballache getting them into the terminalsor terminate the 2 x 6mm into shower isolator (in), then 10mm from there (out) to shower.
For general paralleling and commoning duties where screw terminals are suitable, I often use European-style commoning blocks such as the Cembre range. Here's another Italian example - I've used these and they are well made and substantial. The particular type in this link has four entries for up to 6mm² and two for 6-16mm² and can be mounted to a DIN rail with a clip.

Here is another style from Legrand that clips directly onto the rail. These are good too although lack the support of the entry spout to prevent cable movement in the terminal.

Personally, I would not try terminating two conductors in a shower isolator for the purpose of paralleling. The regs and common sense require the paralleling connection to be made in such a way that it is unlikely for the continuity to be lost. We are all familiar with terminal burnouts, due to high resistance contacts and cables coming loose with manoeuvring the switch into place, so I venture that putting the two into the isolator terminals doesn't really meet that criterion.
