bathroom heaters

[sparkyjim]

i have been asked to fit two fan heaters, one in a bathroom the other in an en-suite shower room.The heaters that they are looking at are 2kw each.Would i have to run in a new feed from the consumer unit,to feed both?.Or failing that,if they just want one fitted,could i spur of an upstairs socket to a fused outlet in the loft, and feed it from that. cheers

I'd put a seperate feed in from the consumer unit, probably a 20A radial feeding 2 FCUs, outside the bathrooms at the ceiling (or Z3 i think), then to 2 flex outlets inside the bathrooms.

yeah ,im a spark,forgive me over that post,the more i read it the more stupid i realised it was.As per normal ,ive been asked to do a homer job,for an old age couple.They have completely redecorated from top to bottom in there new house.Then they realised they wanted heaters.I think i have convinced them to go for the one heater.And ive managed to find a heater thats rated at 1kw.Sorry for lettin the side down chaps...but you know how it is when the customer is giving you tea and biscuits,and pleading with you with their eyes...breaks my heart. So please ignore post...cheers

I simply wouldn't have a fan heater in a bathroom period. A wall mounted I.R. heater would be better, old fashioned maybe but safer. A fan heater has exposed heating elements inside it, try peeing on it and see what happens.

How do you intend accidentally peeing on a wall mounted fan heater 6 feet in the air?

When I was at school I could pee over the 8ft wall that our toilet had. I used to hold it to build up some pressure.

would you do this in a bathroom in a house?

That would depend on what Ive been drinking prior to the event and in what quantity. You know I think I now know what those stains are on my bathroom ceiling. I can sleep now.
