TryC Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Hi All, Does anyone know if you can you fit a towel warmer/towel radiator over a bath tub? is it safe to do so? Not over where the shower goes or the taps, but on the opposite end/walll. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Well I assume this is electric? Check this info: https://www.drench.co.uk/blog/how-to-guides/what-are-bathroom-electrical-zones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitpipe Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Assuming you mean electric and not wet? We have a full length wet towel rad that sits inside the curve of the bath (freestanding style) but wet so no electrical issues. However for electric, assuming it has the necessary IP rating then it should not be an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Wet = heated by electrical element on local fused spur There are hybrid models also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good. Mine won't be a free standing one, it would go over the tub (opposite end of the taps though), not to the side on the wall behind, so hence my worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
