towel rail

[paul b b]

hello chaps,

have to install a few towel rads (the ones that run off boiler or electric) just want to confirm all is ok with my plans.

1x switched FCU outside bathroom

1x flex outlet in bathroom.

many thanks

paul

Sometimes you can wire them direct into spur outside bathroom saves a connection in bathroom but depends on job though.

i thought of this bit think it may look a bit scruffy with the flex going through the wall

Hi Paul

It must be RCD protected and if other circuits in bathroom (Lights etc) are not RCD protected then you will need 4mm supplementary bonding.

If the circuit you are feeding off does not have 30 m A RCD protection then you could fit a Rcd protected Fused spur as the simplest option.

Main Bonding should be checked as well

Sounds OK then .

could you get a thermostic element and wire into unswitch fcu?

Not to safe or practical for user to have to switch off by removing fuse every time

its a normal towel rail fed from the boiler but has an electric element in so it can be on if the boiler is off. so needs a switch

the thermostatics can be turned to zero (off) and are ip 55
