bathroom socket

[Mr Mark Sparks]

is there any circumstance where you can put a 230v socket in a bathroom (closer than 3m to bath) i dont think there is but have been asked to check.
there is a 1200mm high stud partition seperating the bath from where they want the socket in the dressing room

I cant see any justification for allowing the installation of a 230 volt socket outlet in this location.

can you not make it a fixed connected appliance

You cannot install a socket in a bathroom less than 3m from zone 1

What about a standard 13A FCU for a combi boiler, 0.5m outside of zone 2 then ?

Tricky one really as it says that socket outlets etc etc unless 3m.

However, I dont think it says that any other switch gear isnt allowed so why are we using pull switches??

I see where you are coming from Jason, switches just dont seem right in the bathroom though
