Dimplex Panel Heater Install
Oct 6th, 2014, 1:27pm
 
Hi,

I have a Dimplex Panel Heater model LPP150 and was hoping that I could connect it up to a double wall socket I have in close proximity. I of course plan to change the current double sockets to something more suitable. The installation instructions state the following:

"A means of disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring
of the premises in accordance with the wiring rules. The supply
circuit to the heater must incorporate a double pole isolating
switch having separation of at least 3mm."

PDF manual download:

I assume connection to something the MK K5423WHWHI would meet the requirement?

If so, what would I be able to use for a double wallsocket box? As none have an isolation switch with cable outlet and a wallsocket? Could one simply file a cable outlet from something like the MK 5061, a wallsocket with isolation switch for cooker etc?

I am not planning on using the control wire and expect to insulate it and mark accordingly.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Can't you put a standard switched fused connection unit adjacent the socket (MK or similar)?

Failing that, use MK grid with a fuse module, DP switch and flex outlet in a three module yoke/front plate.

I think Scruff removed your link as linked to an interactive catalogue which upsets some people's computers.
