Cool Boiler In Bathroom Zones Ideas
Cool Boiler In Bathroom Zones Ideas. Zone 0 is quite basically, anywhere inside a bath, basin or shower itself. It turned out to be right above the bath in zone 1.
Zone 1 is the area above the bath to a height of 2.25m from the floor. Zone 3 is the area where it is safe to install your boiler. In order for the cupboard to effectively limit the extend of zones 1 & 2 two requirements must be satisfied.
Zone Two Stretches For 0.6 Metres Either Side Of The Bath Or Shower.
In these bathroom zones an ip rating of at least ip44 is required. If you read one of the first regs in section 701 it describes that the location and zones may be limited by walls and partitions, so the cupboard could be deemed to be outside the location if you like. A 230v fcu will need to be outside of the zones.
If There Is No Shower Basin Zone 2 Is Replaced By.
Zone 1 is the area above zone 1 to a height of 2.25m from the floor. Still using the bathtub as our demo, 0.6 metres outside its perimeter and 2.25 metres up from the floor is what would be considered zone 2. Zone one is any area directly above zone zero up to 2.25 metres.
Zone 2 For A Shower Room Is The Same Height As Zone 1 Extended To 0.6M Around The Shower Basin.
While instructions on eg lights for bathrooms seem to stop zone 1 (over bath) and zone 2 (near bath) at 2.25m high, as do the diagrams with the regulations (i think). I just don't believe that is the case. Zone 2 for a bathroom is the same height as zone 1 (2.25m) extended to 0.6m around the bath.
It’s Defined As ‘Any Area Within A Bathroom That Can Hold Water’.
In this zone ip rating of at least ip44 is required. If it's completely boxed in past the end of the bath and is only accessible via use of a tool to open the cupboard then it is ok and considered outside the zones. If your bathroom is small, you may not be able to adhere to the zone guidelines.
This Zone Has The Same Requirements As Zone 1.
Zone 2 stretches to a 0.6m outside your bath or shower and above your bath or shower if over 2.25m. Thanks i was looking at putting an ideal independent in my bathroom but i think these have to be beyond zone two, so over 0.6 meters from the bath. If you were to install a heated towel rail in this zone, it would need a rating no lower than ipx4.
