basin water heater ' how close can i put the fuse spur to the basin'

[lukesparky123]

Just abit of advice needed about a 3kw basin water heater. Its on a 17th edition board and the heater needs to be installed in a little cloakroom toilet so what im asking is how close can i put the fuse spur ie next to it or does it need to be outside with a flex outlet next to the water heater. Also if any body knows do i need an extractor fan in the toilet even though its got an opening window? The job is in newly built garage anex (garage downstairs bedroom above)
thanks alot

If its under BC then yes, they will want to see an extractor.

As for the FS, just make sure it is sensibly positioned.

I would put it above the heater.

I agree with the above that BC will want an extractor. However "If you carry out any ‘building work’, and there is an existing extract fan you should retain or replace it. However, if there is no existing ventilation system you need not provide one." (Part F)
For the FCU yeah, just make sure it is not likely to get splashed, the only requirement for sinks and toilets is that the fitting is suitable for the environment there is no distance requirement.
