Sockets and Radiators

[adam.h]

Whats poeples views on the proximtiy or location of sockets around rads?
I have seen a few put above a rad, would have thought not to because of the heat nor not to close for when bleeding, but have again seem soem pretty close next to a rad. Anything in the regs about it?

I wouldnt put a socket behind a rad as it may prove difficult to use

I think common sense would prevail here, especially if you were fitting the socket after the rad was installed.

Define common sense?

O yes, totally agree. Reason I would say no to one above as it may cause the socket to get hot and if you have excess load with the heat of the rad and possible cable hang opens up to a few problems that may occur.

If thats the case then fit them were you like then lads, as there is nothing in the regs defining it.
