[QUOTE="METPete, post: 326543, member: 14784"] apologies for that ... no intention to mislead just wanted to get basic idea of what is good practice and not. The problem is that because the shower unit is only IPX4 then most accessories would nearly be compliant ... I want to ensure that I don't get in deep S**t when something goes wrong. I have got to fit an RCD and downrate the fuse from BS3036 ... into external enclosure. My opinion would be to replace the whole DB and move isolator but the company I contract to wants it done asap and as cheap as possible. I think I will be leaving their services very shortly. Yup that's what I was thinking! but buildings can vary and I suppose it has to be taken into account for an average room height, most of which new builds would have enough headroom to allow for that zone. Thanks for all replies gents. I will post back after I have been back to site to remedy the situation ... [/QUOTE]
