Hairdryer in Bathroom

[Rpa07]

Calm down @DPG, you’re not writing a mills and boon novel!

I just don't like switches in bathrooms at all. Either normal light switches or switched sockets. Call me old fashioned but somebody dripping wet operating a switch in a steamy bathroom doesn't sit well to me.

What do you mean by technically as its physically outside the zone?

Sorry sir he hasn't breathed for the last two hours, oh so technically he's dead?!!

Well, technically you're right ...that's why I shortened the appliance lead from discouraging the misses from ----ing hairdrier into the bath while a played with my angle grinder.......

i have a hair dryer in the bathroom. 1m away from the bath. it's called a towel.

Thanks for this link. The last paragraph says: "Never bring mains-powered portable appliances such as hairdryers, heaters or radios into a bathroom. You could be severely injured or killed." I'll fit the socket and pass the link onto the customer, so she knows there is a risk. The rewire includes an RCD protected consumer unit. So, even if she ignores the advice, she won't kill herself, my conscience will be clear and most importantly I'll be complying with the regulations!

Simon the regs are their has a guidance. So you have told them so .
If they do not take heed then it is up to them.

Does the customers hair dryer lead actually reach the mirror? I bet there’s a 4m extension lead in the equation here somewhere.

If she had asked you for a socket for her hoover, and you didn’t know the door was to the bathroom, you wouldn’t be asking the question.

All aside, it’s within regs, whatever she wants to do with it.

Are you one of these people that go around the house and flick the socket switch to off as you don't want dust collecting on the red bit?

 

[DPG]

Might be.

Too damn true.

I knew it..........
