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?

    For the actual wiring I would like to drop in conduit from the ring main in the attic above 

    There appear to be two options

    Unfused spur from the ring to a fused switch above the drier; final foot in flex.

    Fused spur from the ring to an unfused switch above the drier; final in flex.

    The second looks safer but I understand that the first is acceptable.

    (I an asking these questions here rather than at my local electricians because I am self isolating and can't get to him)
