Shower or Basin?xxxxxxx

[ChrisElectrical88]

Can you climb in it, luxuriate, then was your smalls? If not, its a basin.

But its got a shower. And by the looks of it the only waste is inside the borrowers bath.

Some peoples kitchen sinks look like that.

Im putting my tin hat on and saying the set up does not contravene any regulation. Whilst not practical it is compliant

Basin.

the intention is not to completely wet the whole/majority of the body.

bit like a kitchen sink with a shower tap does not suddenly become an "Area containing a bath or shower"

It's basically a cleaners cupboard with a shower tap and a hand dryer.
even writing this i'm questioning my sanity though.

What if someone decided to hose down the DBs to the right? What if the cleaner decided to chuck buckets of water over them?

Wouldn't personally do it but not sure how I'd code it if doing EICR. Think I'd be kicking that one to the scheme.

Had to do a saniflow in a toilet that had one of those showers so put in an IP65 socket for it.

No matter how you dress it up that's a shower regardless of intended use.

I'm guessing one of the users has a relative who does some 'electrics' to save a few quid.

I can't work out if it fits 701.1 or not. In terms of shock hazard, having wet feet must increase this beyond a normal hand washing sink. And having a long hose on the rose suggests a shower to me. Electrically, I think I'd treat it as a special location

That is a room containing a shower discussing the basin is irrelevant. The only shower facilities which escape Section 701 are emergency showers. In your case Section 701 must apply.

Good points, however if you were treating it as a shower, i would say that the spur and dryer are far enough away to be out of Zone 2. Technically if i wanted to from my shower i could probably spray the landing socket with the right water trajectory.

Where would you say the zones are for this set up though?

Wish they just had a paper towel diapenser.

That’s a lot of talk but who’s brave enough to tell them it all needs upgrading! Just don’t do a drawing, it may be misconstrued!

So this is a shower too?

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

I mean... If you look up in the dictionary shower that basin hose, technically isnt a shower.

Im writing in this thread with common sense and a bit tongue in cheek, as if thats me id be on the blower to the NIC.

In the second photo, the one where you are interviewing the Robot butler - what was their take on the situation?

Not #MeToo, i wasn't touched in the bottom by a film director.

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

I was meggered across the bottom as an apprentice, does that count

#Metoo

if you can pi$$ that far, ever considered being a firefighter?

 

[Strima]

Nope, that's a sink hose. Or a shower for dwarves, take your pick.

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

Well i mean, were trying to decide if the basin in the OP is actually a basin or a midgit bath, so a midget shower isnt necessarily out of place in this thread.

May be it just needs a shorter hose on the shower head and turn the pressure of the water down, is this not the same as a hair dressers where they have shower heads over the basins? I would not say its a special location but the accessories , hand drier and fuse board may not be suitable for the environment they are in ?
