    Socket in toilet

    I see what you mean about the term basin in section 7.The regs mean ones you can paddle in rather than wash your hands in.

    Socket in toilet

    Well I think as the only part of the installation that is temporary is the plug for powering it up then I think a code 2 is probably right.

    Socket in toilet

    My thoughts exactly, it does seem daft that you can put a socket between a toilet and a basin with no more that 2 foot between them and not break any rules. It seems that as they aren't covered by part p you can pretty much do as you jolly well on a static as long as you follow regs and Park...

    Socket in toilet

    Hi Guys, Can anyone assist, been doing PIr's on static caravans recently and came across this one. Van has a separate toilet which contains a basin, the owner decided it was a good idea to install a double socket next to the toilet which feeds a bar heater installed in the hall next to it...

    Testing of Mobile Homes

    Hi, As you say regulations appear to have tightened up in the 17th edition but they were just as strict in the 16th regarding PIR's but now people are actually starting to take notice of it. I will be doing approx 400 tests on statics this year and as was mentioned rcd failures and ones that...

    mobile home perodic inspections

    Hi, I Have a lot of these to do in my area as the park owners picked up on the "If used frequently then every 12 months " part in the regs. Small percentage of owners have decided they know best and they never have their houses tested so why test a caravan.Have tried explaining the difference...

    Notice to council

    Hi, MInor works in special locations eg kitchens and bathrooms need to be registered with labc.Any new circuit needs to be notified wherever it is.Which brings me to a question if you put in a new smoke alarm circuit do you still need to register it as smoke alarms dont come under part p.Or does...

    caravan park (new light)

    I do a fair bit of work on caravan parks and your suggestion is really the only way of doing it as the main board is so far away.Most owners want a socket wired into a shed for a washing machine.As long its done properly the cable is protected and the pitch point is rcd protected the way you...
