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?

    Indeed either is OK - but is the Ring RCD protected, and how heavily loaded is it already ? 

    If you suffer from vandals then switched spur near the ceiling and last 4 feet in flex in mini trunking may be another option.

    And a bit of sense regarding loading and diversity - are folk likely to be queuing up to dry hands non-stop like motorway services (when a dedicated circuit may be better), or is it more like a 5 min burst twice an hour where in terms of loading on the ring it is not much worse than a kettle or the cleaner's vaccum.

    Mike.
