Location of FCU for Shower Pump

[Hylthom]

Hello guys

At first, I was locating the FCU for the Shower Pump outside the bathroom due to the environment.

On reflection, I am now feel I am able to locate it in the bathroom cupboard as it will be more than 600mm beyond the requirement of the Regs.

Please see the sketch I have attached.

Thank you.

If the cupboard is dry with no signs of moisture ingress/damage then I don't see a problem with it. I'm guessing it does have a door on it?

Don’t see a problem with it in cupboard. 

It wouldn’t be a cupboard if it didn’t have a door!! It would be a cubby hole? 

 

[Hylthom]

Many, many thanks, gents.

It does have a door and as it backs onto a party wall, dry.

Thank you.

Indeed....   Or to put it another way......

The zone ends at a wall....  Including cupboard walls!!

it could also go under the bath if that is more convienent

 

[Murdoch]

it could also go under the bath if that is more convenient

Disagree . Not accessible.

 

[binky]

depends on the bath panel, but clearly not as accessible as in a cupboard

Still disagree ................. unless there is a cupboard under the bath .........................................

put it this way ................... would you be expecting a client to get a screw driver out to remove a bath panel to isolate a shower ? I certainly woundn't

 

[binky]

not all bath panels need a screwdriver

 

[Murdoch]

not all bath panels need a screwdriver

Still wouldn't put it behind a bath panel when there is a convenient cupboard to use!

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

not all bath panels need a screwdriver

Then its not allowed there.

 

[binky]

[steptoe]

why not?

if you can access it without the use of a tool its in the zone

 

[Murdoch]

if you can access it without the use of a tool its in the zone

And if if you need a tool, it’s not accessible....

 

[steptoe]

And if if you need a tool, it’s not accessible....

So its not allowed,  :slap
