Wet room

[staggie65]

Builder is converting cloakroom to wet room with the addition of pumped shower. In considering the zones is it the distance from the shower rail or the water outlet? Have selected appropriate LED lights which are zone 1 compliant. Circuits protected by 30ma RCD but just don't like the idea of mains voltage fan with a small room with water jets.

Without trying to sound sarcastic.you are doing the installation and you decide what you believe is suitable in your opinion and that it also conforms to the regs ( an appropriately rated fan will conform)

Difficult one, had similar problem shower head including flex?, water outlet ? Tech support at Elecsa suggested water outlet ie. where water outlet comes out of the wall.

I thought you still had back boilers up there in 'Pool?
You can generate super heated water with those things!

I always go by the distance from the source if water. So if on a flex then its your call as its your job, as other people have said, it's you who's fitting the stuff, so you need to get the appropriate kit

Well if the fan you select is sufficiently I.P rated for the zone you install it in and also RCD protected what is the problem with it being 230v?

Make it a SELV fan and your prob in the right direction if its in zone 1 IPX5 rated may help also..

Thanks. Gone for SELV fan. Anyone used Knightsbridge ip65 LED fire rated downlights. Looks like a nice fitting.
