Within reason, you can install the FCU wherever you want, other than (if it is switched) within Zones 1 or 2 of a bathroom. Fairly close to the pump would make sense.As far as the Regs are concerned is it okay to fit the Fused Connection Unit in the airing cupboard where the pump is located. Ease of access. Or next to Consumer Unit ?.
Yep, presumably for that reason, no switches are allowed in zones 1 or 2 of a bathroom (and no sockets, other than 'isolated' shaver sockets, within 3m of a bath or shower).Okay, thank you. I forgot, wet hands.

I do not have bare wet feet when I've washed my hands in my bathroom basin, (a) because they are not necessarily bare, and (b) because I don't stand in the basin.Probably, and nor are do most people have bare wet feet in a kitchen, even if they are not standing in the sink.
Indeed - if nothing else, the horns and flames shooting out of the mouth appear to be absent ... but he does seem to have a telling library of images!You're not a bit like I imagined.
Reduced body resistance in bathrooms due to removal of clothing.So why are switches allowed in kitchens? People have wet hands there also, from washing up, washing fruit and veg, or washing their hands prior to food prep.
