About this deal

The cable was then secured in place using UPVC capping to not only hold it but also protect it from any damage that might from any potential future work. In the UK there are very strict rules on who can and cannot do certain electrical jobs. This is mainly due to the fact that, as we all know, electricity is extremely dangerous and when working on or around it, it is essential that you know what you are doing.

If no supplies are this conveniently placed then it may be that you have to take up some floorboards in an above room and run your supply from here. As previously mentioned, if you are sing a lighting circuit make sure it’s RCD protected. If it isn’t then you can’t use it. Zone 2 – the area beyond zones 0 and 1, 0.6m horizontally and up to 2.25m vertically. Zone 2 also includes any recessed window with a sill next to the bath and also around the wash basinOnce this is done, a minor works certificate is then issued to prove the installation has been carried out correctly.

The cable is then normally capped (covered with a protective UPVC capping) or run through some UPVC trunking/pipe to protect it and hold it in place. Once a suitable supply has been found the next task is to isolate the supply to the circuit you are using! If in any doubt, the power to the entire house is turned off.In this example here we are using an existing lighting circuit so a 1mm twin and earth cable is run out from the top of the ceiling rose, down through the ceiling and down a chase that was cut into the wall. When securing wires ensure that the retaining screw that holds the wire in place is tightened fully and that it has plenty of bare wire to clamp down on to. In both cases, the cables are run down through the ceiling and down a chase cut into the wall to run to both locations All wires are then set into the wall and capped with protective sleeving and then all chases are filled, smoothed off and the either painted or tiled over. Once all the wires have been connected, the face plate is then screwed on to the pattress box, fixing it in place.

Wall chased out and cable placed in chase and protective UPVC pipe Step 3 – Install Fused Connection Unit (FCU) If either of the above are ignored, if any issues occur and you cannot produce a certificate for the works then there is a good chance that your home insurance will be invalid, so it certainly isn’t worth the risk. As we have mentioned above, when running down a wall to a power supply unit such as this the cable will need to run vertically down in a straight line to comply with regulations. Zone 0 – the interior of the bath or shower which can hold water. No appliances should be installed here period!Zone 1 – the area directly above zone 0, limited vertically to 2.25m above the bottom of the bath or shower, also 1.2m horizontally from the centre of a shower outlet to the height of the outlet, or 2.25m whichever is the higher Using electrical equipment in bath or shower rooms has always needed great care to ensure safety due to the obvious risks of mixing water and electricity. Once in place the cable was then tested to ensure there were no breaks etc. This is a necessary step as once the cable is filled over it’s a nightmare to have to dig it all out if it’s damaged. However if you are installing in an upstairs then you may be able to locate a suitable supply in the loft. This is often the easiest route as everything should be much more accessible.

Ideally look for a model with double wound isolating transformer, integral overload protection and shutters on the plug inlets to prevent any accidental splashing.
