Boiler in bathroom

[Baddegg]

Been asked to connect up a boiler in a bathroom...outside zone 2 and in a cupboard, switch fused spur in cupboard but may be able to put outside the room, rcd protection in place, can’t see why not but can anyone point me to regs concerning this?

Quite a lot of boilers in bathroom cupboards in my client's houses. Feels a bit weird but no regulation to prevent it. I wouldn't be happy if the cupboard doors weren't present. Obviously shouldn't be on a plug and socket.

Thanks mate, knew about the socket reg but can’t find anything directly contravening it...agree seen load in bathrooms.....but none with my signature on! ?

Doesn't the fact that it's in a cupboard mean it's not actually in the bathroom?

All good. If you read one of the first regs in section 701 it describes that the location and zones may be limited by walls and partitions, so the cupboard could be deemed to be outside the location if you like.

Even if within the location then outside zones is fine as long as the environmental influences are accounted for.

Don't suppose there's anything in the manufacturer's installation guide that mentions bathrooms?

The small room is still there the boiler is just in it. Along with more towels than we could ever need in any situation but that's not my doing

All new boilers are room sealed, not a problem.
