shower switch

[abid21]

what is the regulation about the shower switch? should it be outside the bathroom?

It doesn't need to be outside the bathroom. Is it a pullcord or standard wall mounted switch?

Edit: but there are requirements regarding the location of switches in a bathroom. Look up Bathroom Zones.

it is a pull cord,so it should only be out of zone 1?

 

[kingeri]

Yes, it'll be fine outside zone 1. Just make sure you use common sense as well, I.E. make sure it's unlikely to be splashed significantly.

If you have the choice personally I allways like to have all switches etc out of the bathroom. Not a fan off pullcords these days. However if its not just as above.

Abid...... please answer these questions and within them you may find your own:
1) What is the purpose of a shower isolator switch?
2) What are the components of a pull cord switch?
3) Which component is sited where?
4) What part of your body touches what part of the pull switch when in use?

-----

5) Are you doing or attempting work in a section 701 area that you are not fully competent for?
6) Are you doing or attempting work in a special location under part p of the building regulations that you have neither pre-notified to LABC or are deemed competent to self-certify under a scheme membership?
