More on stables with shower

[sidekick]

Following on from other posts relating to wiring in a new stable block.
Customer is wanting a shower for washing off horses in one room.
Room is approx 10 feet by 6 feet. The shower will be in one corner and they also want a socket at the opposite end for clipping equipment when clipping horses.

As they will never be clipping when washing off and visa versa is there any reason why an outside socket can not be installed (approx 10feet from shower)
i know no sockets in a room containing bath or shower unless 3m from boundary of zone 1 but the room is effectively all zone 1 as these are big animals.

I would say that even though its intended use is when the shower is not used,the location is key, and siting a socket in that location raises the possibility of danger so I would say an emphatic no

Cant they use a selv appliance ?

Thanks Des56,
Have just told them I wasn't happy about it and we have agreed to leave this out.

Only you as the designer can make the final decision based on all the info available to you.

For me it's a definate no, regardless of what they will or wont do at the same time as the other. At the end of the day its is a room containing a shower and unless it's big enough to site it 3m from the edge of zone 1 then you would contravene the regs.
