Where to install 32a socket

[Lewiselectric]

I need to install a 32a single phase socket next to a water outlet. I am thinking of putting it roughly 2 foot above and a foot to the left of the outlet. I haven’t got access to my regs to can’t check if this is enough distance? Any help appreciated.

There is no specific regulation on distance from a water outlet, install it in a logical position taking into account the likely splash range from the outlet.

Welcome to the forum mate.
As above, a 'water outlet' is only mentioned in section 701 of the regs. I don't think that this applies in your case.
Tell us about the 'Water outlet' and the install and let us know what you are doing. Info is a bit vague..

Your risk assessment may deem an IP67 rated IEC60309 socket more appropriate, in lieu of the often more common IP44 flavour.

This ain't for a hot tub, by chance?

If it is, Section 702 applies

I was kinda thinking OP doesn't need a 32A socket, for a water feature

Thats why I asked for more info from the OP.
Lets see if he gets back to us.
