Was hoping someone could offer some advice as I cant access my Regs book at the moment( bloody online digital version.....don't recommend this to anyone by the way!!).
Rewiring house/home salon at the moment and have one issue regarding power to a wetroom. Originally I was under the impression this room was to be a shower room with seperate shower cubicle with screen etc and was asked to get power in there so customer could use spray tan gun. So I've wired for external fused spur to what was going to be flex outlet in the far corner from shower head in what would have been outside zones.
Then realised that its now a wetroom with no screen so my understanding is the room is now all zone 1 effectively. So Not comfortable with having even flex outlet in there. So spoke to customer and suggested that we might be able to put it in a lockable cupboard and sit the spray gun on a shelf within the cupboard. Then she dropped down the spray gun for me to have a look and realised it has a plug so said I'd probably have to cut of the plug so to hard wire into flex outlet, "no cant do that as I need to have option of using it in other rooms"
So now we're left with the idea of having a socket in this cupboard (which I'm not comfortable with at all) or with a bit of work moving the socket into another cupboard under stairs which backs onto wetroom and she'd have to find a way of trailing the spray gun into room herself. I should point out that currently the back box and cable for flex outlet have been tiled over at the moment but i do know exactly where it is though.
This is the gun Fake Bake Spray Tanning System PEB-L2
it has no IP rating from what I can tell but it is double insulated.
I'm not sure If putting a socket in a lockable cupboard is acceptable or just taking the **** a bit, especially if she's then going to probably be carrying this thing about in the wetroom spraying people with electrical lead laying across the floor.
Not sure what others would do in this situation? any advice would be appreciated.
cheers
