Hand Driers

dcbwhaley

I manage a charity's office and I have been asked to arrange to have a hand drier installed in the loo.  Obviously I will get an electrician to do this but I wonder if the great and the good here have any advice about what to avoid or what to choose.

And are their any restriction on how such a drier is wired in?

    depends on the wiring available and the power of the drier.  Make sure that it can be isolated locally for maintenance/cleaning. I'd expect a local fused spur or isolator, perhaps a few feet above, for access by the cleaner or maintenance staff  but not too tempting for fiddly fingers.

    It needs to be in a place where it will not get that wet, and where dripping hands going to it will not spoil the wall or floor finish.

    The circuit that supplies it will need RCD protection.
