Anyone help with this one because i'm getting differing views from building control.
There is a bathroom with an airing cupboard containing a hot water tank. There is a door to the cupboard. The airing cupboard partition forms one part of the shower wall.
There is a 6mm t&e cable comes into the airing cupboard enroute to the shower. There is no isolator on the circuit so I was going to break into the cable in the airing cupboard and use it to house a 45A DP switch
Normally I would fit a 10mm t&e cable for shower size flexibility but that is not possible here and the customer will have to downsize his shower.
The Consumer unit has the usual mcb protected circuits with sockets upstairs. sockets downstairs, lighting upstairs, lighting downstairs and a water heater. It is controlled by a 100amp dp switch. The circuits are protected by a 30mA RCD. The only problem is trying to find a 40A vynchier MCB.
The regulations state that zone 2 extends in a circular manner 600mm from the thickness of the partition.
Is an airing cupboard with door situated in a bathroom/shower room within the bathroom zones or is it treated as a separate room?
