Hot tap instalation

I was only considering at near sea-level.

Of course, but all of those snippets I posted (and thousands of others like them) presumably relate to "near sea-level"!

If it's any consolation, when I first discovered all this (after decades of believing 'what I had been taught') I was as surprised as you.

Kind Regards, John

That wasn't "one of the snippets I posted" - it was just a throwaway comment to reinforce the fact that it's the temperature that matters, not whether or not the water is 'boiling'!

INSTALLATION ALTITUDE 2000 metres .... for among other items a 13 Amp socket

That one (the 13A socket, and many other things) seems to need a fair bit of thought
