Does this installation violate any regulations?

Andrew Lees

I have a water pipe running above and in close proximity to my electrical meter and CU (consumer unit) and I was wondering if this violates any installation regulations and would likely mean that I cannot obtain an electrical installation inspection certificate for my property?

The house did not originally have plumbing in this area and the previous owners have installed this pipe to service a shower room on the floor above.

Any thoughts on if this is a problem would be appreciated. Suggestions for what can be done would also be welcomed.

Thanks,

Andrew.

    well to fail either of those regs it would be getting wet. And I agree, you need to ensure that it is dry, but that is all. I'd be very surprised if the waste from a shower suffered condensation - if anything the waste water  is likely to be warmer, rather than colder than the local air temp. A bath I suppose if the users take ice baths, but it is unlikely. If it was a drip line from an air con and chilled, then condensate would merit more serious thought.

    It is certainly not a thing of beauty.
