We are reconfiguring an existing bathroom and I am using a wireless shower mixer to supply the shower as well as an overflow filler and hand held shower.
I plan to use solenoid valves to control the flow of water, one for each controlled by a touch sensitive IP44 rated 3 gang switch.
Logic says to me to use 12v however my interpretation of Part P is that anything behind a wall (so in a cupboard behind plasterboard and tiles) is counted as 'outside' so could be mains.
The shower mixer is mains powered so it seems it would be compliant to use mains valves. Does anyone know whether this is right?
