I wonder if anyone recommended an IP rating?

Why? Some countries aren’t as stringent on regs as the U.K.

It's a UK socket.

Exactly.

Trunking is very neat though. The sockets have switches so they can be turned off before the shower is used.

Are BS1363 sockets not used in other countries? Admittedly usually unswitched.

... and, unless it's changed, some parts of SE Asia.

Kind Regards, John

The shower is too low, the shower rose should not touch the floor.

Could well be real, those socket types are used ALL over India as I well know. You often find them mixed with other two-prong-type sockets as well. I have seen installs just like that (in terms of zoning). Their approach - while obviously full of danger - seems to err on the side of common sense, meaning they'll make things work with no regards to aesthetics or safety and just expect everybody to use their noggin.

Didn't we used to use those sort of principles before the elf'n safety mob went crazy.
Today's generation expects everyone else to look after them and blame (and sue) anyone they can find when things go wrong.
If we keep avoiding Darwin's "Theory of Idiocy and Technical Evolutionary Elimination" (TITEE) we'll end up as a race unable to think for themselves
