Switched fuse within 300mm from sink

yeah, but you also need to consider the scenario where a plumber has fitted the sink and put the taps in upside down, thus spraying the FCU.

i am talking about a switched fuse here not a non switched fuse. If its off and someone starts washing there hands then releases they not hot water, they the chance that some people would switch this on with wet hands

So moving it 300mm away from the sink is going to stop wet hands switching it, how?.. I see your concern but in practice you would need to be pouring water over it to be at any real risk.. many people get out the bath shower and enter the bedroom flicking the light on with wet hands but I have yet to hear of anyone getting shocks.

I always fail to look at it from the Ultra wide screen HD Cinemascope picture.

However if the sink was upside down wouldn't the SFU and heater be in the cupboard under (over )the sink ???
