IEC connector under a bath.

Sparkingchip
I presume an IP rated 10/250  IE C320-1 trailing socket plugged into a panel socket on a control panel under a bath in a domestic bathroom is acceptable, because it is classed as a connector rather than a plug and socket?


I am pretty confident that is acceptable, it’s the other end of the flex I am concerned about, but just want to double check this end is okay.

    If it  is in out of zones, like under the bath and boxed out of reach, then a 13A plug would be fine too as it is not in the bathroom.


    0h no it’s not!


    Onsite Guide section 8.1 page 93.

    Not relevant.  If it is under the bath and "boxed in", take that as needing tools to remove, so 701.512,3 does not apply.


    OSG goes all Fisher Price on page 93 and is having a bit of a moment, as it has a tendency to do with alarming frequency.


    All that is relevant is the last two sentences of 701.32.3 in the proper book.
