So this was an interesting conversation today and wanted peoples advice.
Plumber asked me if I could fit a socket inside an enSuite Vainty unit. I asked why and he said the customer had bought a japanese toilet (the ones with the air, water and lights ect)
Japanese toilet is off a cable with a built in RCD.
There is a socket in the room next door so I wanted to chase out, run the cable next door and wire a fused Spur off a socket to clear any issues with zones.
Plumber said the customer doesnt want that he wants a socket in the vanity unit and the cable for the toilet wiring to a plug. He thinks becuase its under a sink in a cupboard its classed as outside zone.
While it is outside zone the regs state "Electrical sockets are permitted in bathrooms or shower rooms as long as they are located more than 3m from the edge of the bath or shower. Specially designed shaver units are an exception to this rule and can be located slightly nearer, but still no closer than 600mm from the bath or shower."
Thoughts??
