13A socket outley (downstairs toilet)

[gazdkw82]

I'm currently in the middle of gutting the downstairs toilet. It will only have a toilet and a small cloak room sink.

I plan to have a mirror and x1 2 gang socket outlet for the misses to straighten her hair because she refuses to do in the bedroom because there is no mirror.

Is this deemed acceptable? It's not a bathroom or any other special location?

The consumer unit is on the wall behind the toilet so it makes sense to utilise one of the spare ways.

Quick thoughts on a circuit are to install a radial on a 20A mcb. 4mm t+e. Length will be amount 1 metre.

I would like a socket that's as flush as it can be against the tiles. I've seen this which looks good.

Why 4mm2 Gaz?

Why 4mm2 Gaz?

Don’t see anything wrong with it as long as the socket is far enough from the sink (300mm) I think

No right or wrong distance, just common sense needs to be applied as too its location.

Tell the missus to shave her head........ problem solved.

Why 4mm2 Gaz?

Because I have some in the garage ;-)

I probably should have said that really. Usually I'd wire 2.5mm on a 20a mcb but seems I have 4mm I'll use that.

New circuit don't forget that is notifiable
