Talk:Immersion Heaters
The advice to "wire across the built-in stat and add an external stat strapped to the tank" seems extremely iffy and completely contrary to current regs requiring a manually-resettable over-temperature cutout to be incorporated into the stat.
I think it would be good for an article on immersion heaters to reference this regulation.

Flexible Cable
The bit about burning smell etc, talks of checking the flexible cable and that has a link to the "Cables" article.... which only discusses wiring cables, not high temperature insulated flexes.
Sounds like we need a "Flex" article.

Yes, I reckon we still could do with lots of articles. Not sure whether flexes might be best dealt with in a separate article or the same one as fixed cables.

On the basis that I've seen many dozens of installations with immersions controlled by on/off switches (or just 13A plug & socket) and none with timers, I've changed the wording of the appropriate part of this article --John Stumbles 18:02, 29 February 2008 (GMT)
