Dry Lining box For Double Socket Underneath in Wall

[andyb]

I think you need to ask, is the dry lining box is suitable for the environment?

It's for a socket in the adjacent room.

I can see his concern where the box was exposed, albeit under a bath, but on the same wall where there is the possibility of water running into the box, if the bath is not sealed to the wall properly. He just didn't explain things quite that way in the OP - ref Post 9

I know Pete, all I'm saying is that without seeing it that would be my concern. It might be for a socket in the next room but the box is below the bath. A dry lining box has no IP rating so I would want to know that water could not get into it it there was a leak.

If the bath leaks my first concern would be water getting into the lights dowstairs, but fair point if he is that worried, must be a right bodge job if you can see the box from under the bath, did the installer bash a hole right through onto the bathroom?

I agree with that, must have fitted the bath before the plasterboard.

can't see how you can see the box from under the bath, don't make any sense to me

He may have had the dry lining box out from the other side and got a bit of a breeze come through, or the person singing in the bath got louder.

Dont see a problem myself if the socket is in an adjacent room, the socket itself is not in the bathroom.

If you are that worried screw a bit of plasterboard to the bathroom side of the wall
