fcu by kitchen sink

[dal_87]

hi would like some info regarding fitting fcu near kitchen sink. now i know as good practice it should be min 300mm away from edge of sink horizontally , but in a job iam doin tomorrow i require to go vertical. does this still stand ? iam installing a hot water urn in a staff kitchen in a college, the kitchen is small and the supply will have to be above the sink area ...can i (A) just install fcu above with min 300mm or (B) look to install fcu near ceiling and drop down in a flex outlet plate .. all will be surface mounted .. looking for some guidance thanks in advance

Stick it on an rcd and use an ip rated FCU then everyone will be happy. On another note; doesn't anyone called them switched fused spurs anymore?
