Andrew Sharratt Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 What regulations cover electrical installations in wc’s, ie a room with toilet and sink but no shower or bath? I understand that the bathroom zones do not apply so are there any other restrictions such as IP rated fixture requirements or limitations on socket locations? Thanks.

ProDave Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Normal wiring regs. It is only a special location if it contains a bath or shower, so no special requirements for a room with a wc, no different to a kitchen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Ask @Russell griffiths iirc he has a range of waterproof curling tongs and shower resistant buttock hair removal devices coming soon. He fitted a plug in his sink, a 13a plug no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patp Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Wish I had known this earlier Peeps may remember my struggle with having an en suite because of the disturbance to my sleep when OH goes to the bathroom. I, eventually, caved in and we have incorporated an en suite into our build. The sparkies tell us that you can get vanity mirrors that switch on with a wave of the hand when the door is closed. I really wanted a night light in there as you can get red ones designed to not disturb our circadian rhythms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToughButterCup Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I found that the light from the rocker switch on a standard socket is enough for that job .... Needs to be ON, though I found ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
