socket in a toilet

[eletricaz]

hi all new to the forum got a call from someone earlier today asking if i can put a socket in a toilet for his washing machine for him

my question is

is it legal?

Wouldn't it get a bit wet when u flushed

Seriously though, if it doesn't contain a bath or shower then there's no reason why not.

Although I can't see why anyone would want their washing machine in the toilet. Talk about multi-tasking

P.S. Welcome to the foums

will have to be waterproof tho for when the toilet is flushed?
Is it a small washing machine or a big toilet???

thanks for the quick replys guys have not been to look at the job yet so dont know how big the washing machine or the toilet (AREA ) is was just wondering whether it was legal or not to put one in the toilet (AREA )

I have a big toilet with washing machine in so can shut door and dampen the sound and no dirty clothes in kitchen. Makes sense

Sounds a bit like my earlier query...cant see a problem with it,its not a special location..just make sure its RCD protected..suppose its something to put yr feet on when yr on the pot!

If you're going to rest your feet on it why not one on each side, ensuring they're surface mount 47mm deep metal clad for a good grip and strength

I wouldn't pay your sewage charge if I were you. I thought the water went down the toilet not out of it.

You could remove the toilet and go in the washing machine, although the flushing cycle may take an hour or so.
