Too much UFH Left over?

[2020Tiling]

What is the maximum ufh wires that can be left over and hidden under a bath? Just on a job where there's around 2.5 mtrs left over and have been advised that I can just hide them under the bath? I know you can leave some under the bath but I would of thought 2 mtrs of rolled up ufh cables would be Dangerous ...:yikes:

Who measured up for the cable? That's a daft amount to have left over, you shouldn't be putting any under the bath, especially rolled up. It'll burn out for sure.

IMO you should not be leaving ANY under a bath . If the mat is too big then change it for correct size.

I was advised by a well known north east Bathroom/Kitchen company that it's ok in front of the customer( SHOCKING I know) They were even arguing with the customer when I told them it's a no no!! saying there guys with over 20 years experience do it all the time !!

It's a massive no no!

You can hide 2.5m of cable under the bath, only if you treat it like the rest of the floor and SLC or Adhesive it, then tile over it.

The heat needs to be dispersed else the cable gets too hot. Either ask an electrician, or fit a 1sqm cable to a fused spur and stat one time when you have time, and run it for a few hours then pick it up. Far too hot to be touching its self. Far too hot to not even be touching its self.
