Washing Machine in Zone 2?

[10phil79]

Hi - would appreciate your advice. Is it permitted to install the washing machine/dryer in a cupboard within a shower room.

I appreciate this has been asked before but I cannot find quite the same scenario or a recent reply.

The washer/dryer would be in zone 2 with the exception that it’ll be enclosed with in a cupboard. (Or does this mean it’s not in Zone 2?)

The drawing below shows the relative position of the shower (in yellow) and WM (in green) separated by a door (orange line)

The sockets/connection to the WM/TD would be housed completely with in the cupboard.

Thanks!

Inside a Cupboard is fine, I'd make sure it has some kind of RCD protection.

Yes - Existing board has RCD - thanks
