extract fan on ceiling above the shower tray

[hoover]

Not an inline fan. Is this good pratice in your opinion? Its outwith zone 1 and rcd protection. Thanks in advance.

If its outside zone 1 then its technically OK, but IMHO its bad practice.

Are you looking at a new install or are you doing a PIR?

Has it got the appropriate IP rating for its location, if yes, then no problem, if no then no, irrespective of RCD or whatever else.

is it a 12V fan

Doing a pir mate. Yeah bad practice i thought as the fan is only about a foot above your head.

 

[hoover]

Not sure of the ip rating. Its a 230v fan.

if it's only a foot above your head, then either it's a low ceiling or you're very tall.

Some crappy bedsits have shower cubicles that could only be described as leaky wardrobes :smug2:

Should be IPX4 or better, or SELV from what you say.

If its a low ceiling then won't it be in zone 1?

 

[telectrix]

Although its 230v, its probably class 2 insulated (they usually are) and you have RCD protection from what you say. If it was my pir and tape measure info took you inside zone 2, I would code 4 it. But thats me.

 

[NICK C SPARKS]

Cant code 4 it thats for not complying with bs 7671 it does comply from whats been wrote
