Hager 46mm Deep Moulded Back Box for Shaver Sockets - Sollysta Range

Product Information

All wires are then set into the wall and capped with protective sleeving and then all chases are filled, smoothed off and the either painted or tiled over. The cable is then normally capped (covered with a protective UPVC capping) or run through some UPVC trunking/pipe to protect it and hold it in place. Zone 2 – the area beyond zones 0 and 1, 0.6m horizontally and up to 2.25m vertically. Zone 2 also includes any recessed window with a sill next to the bath and also around the wash basin

A shaver supply unit complying with BS EN 61558-2-5 may be installed in zone 2 of a location containing a bath or shower (Regulation 701.512.3 refers).Wall chased out and cable placed in chase and protective UPVC pipe Step 3 – Install Fused Connection Unit (FCU) Zone 1 – the area directly above zone 0, limited vertically to 2.25m above the bottom of the bath or shower, also 1.2m horizontally from the centre of a shower outlet to the height of the outlet, or 2.25m whichever is the higher Neither the rated supply voltage nor rated output voltage of a shaver supply may exceed 250 V a.c. The no-load output voltage is not to exceed 275 V and the difference between the no-load output voltage and the output voltage under load shall not exceed 20 % of the load output voltage. For example, a no-load voltage of 275 V and an output load voltage of 230 V would lead to percentage variance approaching 20 %. The output voltamperes must be not less than 20 VA and not more than 50 VA.

Ideally look for a model with double wound isolating transformer, integral overload protection and shutters on the plug inlets to prevent any accidental splashing. Once this is done, a minor works certificate is then issued to prove the installation has been carried out correctly. Once in place the cable was then tested to ensure there were no breaks etc. This is a necessary step as once the cable is filled over it’s a nightmare to have to dig it all out if it’s damaged. Zone 0 – the interior of the bath or shower which can hold water. No appliances should be installed here period!The front of a shaver supply unit is marked with the rated voltage(s) and with the symbol shown left. A degree of protection of at least IPX1 is provided by a shaver supply unit.
