Hi all, just wondered if there is any specific guidance in the regs with relation to socket outlets in toilets?
Just in the process of doing a full rewire and the client has requested a socket in an outside toilet, ( new one on me and god knows what they want it for but hey, who am i to pry! ) No bath or shower, just the toilet. Any advice much appreciated guys and gals.
 
yeah, was intending to anyway but just wondered if there was any specific regs IE bathrooms and zones etc?
 
yeah just a toilet.

In a bathroom it has to be 3 metres from zone 1, no matter what ip rating it has, just wondered if the same applied here but haven't seen anything where it's just a toilet
 
Hey guys im new here lol,

for what i know you can install it thats fine as long as it's not close to a water outlet. (Within 1.2meters of a water outlet.)
 
Yeah you mite aswell, just incase someone decides to urinate on it. But within the regs You dont need to fella, good practice shall we say?

It's not just good practice. The regs ask that all equipment in a system to be suitable for the environment and possible outside influences as assessed by the designer.
 
Fit the socket anywhere you want why does it have to be weather proof. Crickey is he that old you think he may **** on it as a way out ;-().

You may as well fit weather proof through out his home with that logic
 
Cheers for that farmelectrics, much appreciated. As for the other comment, I thought this site was intended for everyone to learn from each other, obviously some people just know it all though don't they?
 
.... obviously some people just know it all though don't they?

Take it on the chin, its all part of the banter! But at the end of the day pick yourself up and dust yourself down, you will get some good input/suggestions/recommendations making it all worth while :):):) (once you've waded thro' some of the other useless cr*p which I know Im guilty of posting from time to time to!!)

As they say, the only stupid question is the one not asked ......
