Bathroom Hairdryer

[Pete999]

How about a re chargeble hair dryer?? charge it up use in the bathroom no problems

Bear in mind a handheld hair dryer is likely to be double insulated and won't have its body earthed in any way, so potentially quite dangerous if you have just stepped out of the bath!!!

?? Oh, bit like an electric shower then?


Solution to this is:
Wall mounted 230V unit - hose to head - autoswitches when lifting/replacing head

Tell customer it's that or nothing

Just use a made for purpose wall mounted unit where all electrical components are enclosed in the wall unit and none in the flexible hand held unit, Sorted.....

If it's designed for wet room then use it. Make the unit shorter so can't reach any puddles.. 10mA rcd...

It'll still reach the sink though. Daz

Switched fused unit in cupbord or greater than 2.25m from floor.. Duct with draw wire down to dryer location... Fish cable up on 2nd fix to sw fuse connection.. The unit is double insulated! All bathroom circuits require no greater than 30mA rcd protection which you will have in your new high integrity db.. If you want greater peace of mind put on 10amp rcbo 10ma I^n
