Immersion flex?

LostInLM · 2012-10-02 12:21:08

Hi. What size flex is used between the immersion switch and the immersion itself? Also what's used for circulation pumps etc. in a hot press? Thanks.

yes the 2.5 is a bit big-afaik the 1.5 is rated for the 3kw load which would be the determining factor here rather than the breaker size

Thanks. 4x1.5 HR will do it so.
