CU in downstairs guest toilet

[spark 68]

they seem to love putting them in stupid places these days,the best I've seen lately in friends houses are.
1 over the top of a door,2 behind a door,3 about 1200mmup and 900 mm in from a corner,and that was in a small lounge.

What, the toilet ?, lol

What, the toilet ?, lol

I was once asked by an Asian gentleman if I could fit a toilet for him so I went to look at the job.

Big rather dilapidated house in Gateshead with a long landing upstairs in the middle of which stood the scruffiest bog I've ever seen - I swear he must have dragged it out of a skip - and it was this bog that he wanted fitting and plumbed-in just where it stood - no cubicle or screening of any kind at all. "It's just for the kids" he explained.

I walked away.

stick the whole thing in a white pvc IP65 enclosure.

Should that not be an I pee 65 enclosure?

just a bog standard door required.

Mine is in the downstairs bog and before I rewired it was down the side of the bog at about seat height - Brilliant.

I shifted it up to about 6 feet from the floor and a bit further from the bog so now it's in a Safe Zone - safe from flying spray that is.

Strange you should mention 'flying spray'. I was listening to an article on prostate cancer on Radio 4 the other day. The (female) urologist said that by about age 20 the urine stream flow of a normal prostrate could make up to 20 feet from the urinal. So, is you newly sited cu/db REALLY safe?

20 ft.? you could join the fire brigade.

Not me mate, a VERY long time since I saw 20!

doesn't help with this situation but next edition of the regs will probably have a minimum height of 1.4m as per the rest of europe.

Watch for clause 530.5.3
