[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 907097, member: 196043"] Are there any qualified electricians here that can advise me if I can safely swap a unused old immersion heater connection for a standard UK 13 amp socket in a friend's apartment? The plumber removed the hot water tank in the airing cupboard which was no longer needed and all that is left is a round hole where the cable for the immersion heater was connected plus a fused switch with a neon indicator next to it. Is it OK to replace the face plate where the cable was connected and change it for a normal socket so that a portable vacuum cleaner can be plugged in and charged? I know I can do and it'll work but but will it meet all safety requirements? [/QUOTE]
