Dear Experts,
I am currently insulating my ground floor and need to decide how to run the shower cable.
It runs parallel to hot water and central heating pipes. Currently all are just laid on the concrete slab. I’m filling the void with about 100mm of PIR insulation boards, with floating OSB.
Where the pipes run I plan a thinner layer of insulation leaving space above for the pipes above, which will be individually lagged with pipe insulation. But what to do with the shower cable? I don’t think it would be acceptable to run it in this hot compartment without significant derating.
What I’m considering is shown below: a timber divider down the middle of the compartment, with the shower cable clipped to one side along with the cold water pipe, and the three hot pipes on the other side.
Thoughts anyone? Hideous finger-painting follows.
