Advice on changing PRD electric shower, do i need to be Part P

[Joely]

Hello everyone im not sure where i stand. I went and advised a customer that it looks like the PRD has failed on their shower and if they ordered a replacment part i would come and fit it.
I did my tec 2 certificate at college and am about to have my NVQ 2 signed off. In all honesty the replacment looks very easy im just worried that im legally not allowed to complete this Job. Am i allowed to do this as its not a new installation its just a like for like swap ???

Any advice ?

Cheers peeps

you are allowed to change an electric shower like for like.

if you dont have enough knowledge to know if the cable size is correct, the protective device is suitable, the double pole isolator works then id leave it to a sparks.

is it just the prd you are looking to change or the whole shower? your post isn't very clear

No just a straight swap of Pressure Reducing device as it's blowing out when the hot water is on. If this doesn't resolve the situation I will leave it.

cheers

you can do that, also replace or clean shower head, thats probably cause of faulty prd
