Douche, shower or not shower

[GBDamo]

for those that are not culturally knowledgeable about these things a douch is a little shower, usually located next to a toilet, that the Mohammedans use to wash their bits as opposed to using infidel bog roll.

If a douche is classed as a shower then what would you class as the shower tray, to be 600mm away from.

This has made fitting a saniflow rather puzzling.

The way I’ve gone about it is -

1, Treat the douch as a shower and take my measurements from the toilet pan.
2, As this is a separate toilet, I.e. not in a bathroom, there is nowhere within reach of the sealed flex of the saniflow that is over 600mm away so an IP65 socket has been installed on an RCBO to power the saniflow.

I’d like to know how others would have treated the same situation.

Apart from no electricity at all there's nothing you can do to make it safer than your method. How is this labelled for circuit identification- bum washer ?

Isn’t this just the same as a bidet?
There is no mention of bidet or douche zoning in the regs so I guess you would be ok as long as it is RCD protected.

They’re gonna get a shock when they find the other end coupled to a Karcher on the other side of the wall.

No, a bidet is fixed and a controlled flow which doesn’t leave the pan.

A douch in mobile and mains pressure and could be sprayed the same distance as a shower. All in my humble opinion.

I stand corrected.

No different to a spray head on a kitchen sink.

I can see the wife’s face now if I started using the spray head for that

A big thank you for that mental image.

Couldn’t have put it better myself

I thought they just wiped their arses with their right hands and then wiped them on the kebab's?

Could you route the flex above the ceiling tiles(if applicable) and fit the connections there? If not i wouldn't worry too much.

If you do a internet search you can find a video on how to use those properly and the results afterwards

No prizes for guessing what you’ve just been up to then

Thought about it but it’s the old sealed unit and warranty chestnut.

Infidel bog roll is a great statement, think I'll be stealing that one

 

[SparkyChick]

If possible I would run the flex through an adjoining wall and connect it on the other side.

Tend to agree could always use a flex outlet plate (without using the terminals) if needed if the flex going through the wall in view. I would need to see a layout to give a more conclusive answer. External influences.
