Electric Towel Rail in Utility room

[acideraser]

I am considering fitting an electric towel rail in Utility room would it be possible to run a cable from a socket nearby to a switched spur and to a rail or does it have to be on a separate RCD circuit from CU?

 

[JohnD]

yes, no.

 

[EFLImpudence]

That's that - next.

 

[acideraser]

I guess this was yes to a cable from socket ....

 

[JohnD]

yes

or does it have to be on a separate RCD circuit from CU

no

You are perhaps thinking of the rules for bathrooms.

But a room without a fixed bath or shower is not a bathroom.

 

[acideraser]

ok thanks again John, all clear now.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

yes, as long as that socket is not already an unfused spur from a ring.

It's a part of a ring in the new built extension, just realised that I need a towel rail there after all electrics has been done and walls plastered.
The other option would be just to plug radiator into the socket, isn;t it?
