FSU for Towel Rail position

[adam81]

Hi all,

I've just had 1st fix on my bathroom completed by Part P sparky and just want to check one thing.

We have had an electrical towel rail installed, in the bathroom. Part of the towel rail falls in zone 2. The FSU he has prepared has the switch in the bathroom which is outside zone 2, but next to the toilet.

The toilet does not appear on any zoned diagrams I have looked at on the internet so would this be acceptable?

Cheers
Adam

The zones are determined by using the bath and shower basins/trays as the reference point, the toilet does not come in to it!
So by what you have posted, seems okay!

so the fact that part of the towel rail falls within zone 2, is a non issue is it?

The element is on the same side as the FSU so again outside zone 2 near to the toilet.
Cheers

What is the IP rating for the towel rail. It should be written on the element casing.

 

[adam81]

IP55, so I guess on that basis its fine for zone 2, and the FSU outside zone 2, obviously with the toilet not being part of it.

Cheers

Don't sprinkle when you tinkle would be my advice.

No doubt, I'd probably but a silicone cover on it too as double measure..
