Storage Heater in a downstairs toilet.

C

Crackfox

I have Economy 7 storage heating and have a redundant storage heater in my kitchen. I would like to move the heater and circuit to a downstairs toilet which contains a wc and a basin. Is this ok under the new 17th edition regs? Thankyou

Need more information.

How far from the basin will the heater be?

DO you have RCD protection?

What is the IP rating of the heater?
 
Can we add in what sort of heater is it? does it contain asbestos? - many do; are you dismantling it to move it?

Wouldn't have thought a small bog and basin warrantied a storage heater; get in have a dump and out again - unless you want to read War & Peace whilst dumping!

The heater will be approx 1m away on the opposite wall, there is no RCD protection and I can see no IP rating on the heater. Thanks for your response.

Its a dimplex heater, theres no model no. or ip rating, No asbestos and its not that big so I can carry it with a helping hand. Thanks for your response.
 
Doesn't need an particular IP rating, unless your aim is appalling.

But a storage heater in a 2x2 room sounds OTT - it may get fearsomely hot in there - dunno how much adjustment you have to control how much heat it stores....
