Hi all. Just a quick one: are you allowed to run a cable (twin and earth) through the space under a bath tub, which still constitutes zone 1?

Explain?Just make sure it's RCD protected to cover yourself.
Explain?
Well I'd cover it anyway just for peace of mind.
I thought under the bath was out of zones IF you could only access it with a tool? Screw the bath panel shut [emoji38]
It changed when the byb came out its now zone one all the time now
This statement does not match with the current wiring regulations requirements, the area under a bathtub is zone 1, however if cannot be accessed without using a tool then it is outside the zones.It changed when the byb came out its now zone one all the time now
Its not, its outside the zones if it is accessible by using a tool. It's conceivable that it could be clipped direct under the bath, in which case RCD protection not required if the bath has a panel. Not likely to cause a problem anyway?It changed when the byb came out its now zone one all the time now
. The OP is talking about a circuit external to the location but passing through it, and outside the zones, so no RCD required.The requirement is to provide 30mA RCD protection for all circuits of a location containing a bath or shower.
Has sod all to do with being in or outside of zones.
