Im considering installing a shower cubicle, similar to this.
https://www.insigniarange.co.uk/product.aspx?id=438
The installation instructions state that an qualified electrician must be used to connect the power supply and it must meet current regs. However the cubicle runs on 12v dc and is supplied with a 250v standard uk mains plug, connected to a 12v transformer and rcd and a 12v lead to plug into the shower cubicle.
First question. Are there any regs on using 12v in a bathroom?
Second question. Assuming it was plugged in to a mains socket externally to the bathroom, would this be acceptable?
When a item is supplied with a standard mains plug, I can't figure out why I would need an electrician to come and plug it in for me. Or am I missing something?
