Ip65 rated junction boxes under baths? Help

[deancooling]

Hi, my friends got a spa bath and wants it wired in. I was thinking of running some 10mm t&e under the bath into a ip65 junction box, then into the pump underneath. I can't find anything in the regs or part p which says anything about this so could to with some advice. Also would need some type of gland for the 10mm t&e going into the box? Any help would be great.thanks

Section 701 gives you the zonal details and what you can can't do -- from memory it will be a Zone 1 area or outside the zones if not accessible! If it is classified as Zone 0 then I think its a rating higher than IP65 you need.

And dont forget consideration of your supplementary equipotential bonding whilst your there .......

Under the bath would be outside the zones, but all connections must be accessible for future inspection and testing.

Could use sy cable and stuffing glands, or similar round cable.

I think I might have heard of stuffers for twin but I could also be dreaming that


Edit

Listen to sjm post #6

Get the proper inserts for twin

Wiska do inserts for their glands that will adapt them to take T & E

That's certainly true if he has to use the contents of his toolbox to take the panel off

Yeah I should have stated non-MF joints. I can't see crimps being used on this job though somehow...

10mm that's a he'll of a spa bath

Is This a hot tub for outside use by any chance of a bath in the bathroom ,,,

 

[Badged01]

Perhaps thats code for a hydroponics set-up and he's then running off to sockets for the lights and heaters!

10mm cable i can understand if we are talking about a Hot Tub with heaters, but general bathroom spa baths have no heaters, just pumps and filters etc... So no need for anywhere near a 10mm cable to supply such an installation.

Oh, and an IP65 box is fine for this location....

Hi, thanks for all the replies. I was going to use 10mm as he is thinking of having a power shower also. I guess ill stick with the ip65 box underneath the bath then. Does anyone know any links for supplies of 10mm t&e glands?
