Hi ,
Are there any regs or guidelines on the installation of appliances (an electric convector heater (BEHA)) in rooms containing a sink - cloak/WC.
I know there are the regs re bathrooms/shower rooms but I can't find anything on sinks/wcs. Part of my query is that the heater will have to be fitted quite close to the sink (less than 25cm)- and at a slightly lower level. However the heater is rated at IPX4 so it is splashproof so would be safe for zone 2 in a bathroom?
A second part of the question is re bonding. The plumbing is plastic pipework with very short copper tap tails. The heater itself is double insulated and therefore has only L and N supply cord and no earthing point. The main bodywork is metal. Does it need bonding?
Third question is just a theory one - would part P apply.?The installation is via FCU on existing ring which is OK. Does the Cloak/WC count as a special location? I believe kitchens and Bathrooms are specifically mentioned but I don't think Cloak/WC , or for that matter utility rooms etc are?
Thanks for any thoughts/opinions relating to this.
