so i'm back in the bathroom a different bathroom this time as you can see
another renovation and i just thought it was a good idea to carry on from our series of videos
regarding zones of the bathroom regarding airing cupboards now we do have a bathtub here and again
we know now zone zero zone one and zone two so all we're going to do is we're going to talk a
little bit about what an airing cupboard means in relation to the zones of the bathroom so we
have our airing cupboard here in our bathroom and what we're gonna do first we're just gonna measure
from the edge of the bathtub okay to see where in relation to the zone this airing cupboard falls
so it's actually well over a meter away from the edge of zone one okay so we're actually outside
of the zones all together so general rules apply as per the other video now let's say this airing
cupboard fell inside zone two okay what would that mean for us would zone two actually go
part way into the air cupboard no it wouldn't okay the same way you move into a different
location when you walk through the bathroom door into in this installation the hallway
the same principle applies okay because we have a door on the airing cupboard the space inside here
okay is actually classed as not being in the special location itself now when the door is open
okay we could be in zone two so what is actually recommended there in the on-site guide is that
30 milliamp RCD protection for additional protection okay is protecting the circuits which
are serving inside of the airing cupboard so again just a short video there really going on from our
bathroom series okay just remember the area inside of an airing cupboard is classed as outside of the
location all together so the zones do not apply the same way when you walk through the bathroom
door you're in the hallway okay and in perspective in this property the boiler located in this airing
cupboard okay is actually further away from the edge of the zones than a socket outlet located in
the hallway however because they're in different rooms the extent of this location does not pass
into them rooms because we do have doors in place now i know this door isn't great however i don't
have to worry too much about it in this big hole here because they are boxing all this out again
and putting new door and handle etcetera on there as always we hope this video has been some help
