Default Heated Towel Rails and Lighting Circuits

An RCD is really to protect from touching a live wire etc which shouldn't
be possible in this case as it will be earthed.


The towel rail, of course, should be properly cross bonded if it falls
within that area in the bathroom.


Ah forgot about that bit.

On a similar note... when we bought our 1970's house there was (and
still is) an Electric fan heater in the bathroom with 800W, 1200W &
1800W settings, this _was_ wired to the lighting circuit and an original
standard fitment fuse box in the garage.

Not a great combination really.
