Could this *really* be used in a bathroom?
I've been looking for a simple heated towel rail for a toilet and came
across this at CPC:- https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-elec/pel...ail/dp/HG00931 It *says* ".... towel radiator ensures your bathroom feels comfortable when .... " but it has a 3-pin plug and is IPX1 rated. I'm not sure I'm even very happy with putting it in a toilet though hard wired to an FCU I suppose it might be OK. What does the team think? -- Chris Green · |

I doubt if there any safety concerns if you use a fused spur, but the 65W power output doesn't really support its claims of "fast heating". It's about the same as a not very bright light bulb. -- Algernon |

At our last house we installed a tall ladder type radiator plumbed into the CH and its heat output was nothing compared to the smaller bog standard radiator in our present house. Richard |

Yes, 65 watts isn't much, we're not expecting it to make the (small) room feel warm but it will dry the towels. -- Chris Green · |

It's not easy to find the heat output into the room of a towel rail with towels on it. I did the same as you - and soon fitted an additional rad. -- *The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Yes, 65 watts isn't much, we're not expecting it to make the (small) room feel warm but it will dry the towels. You can get them up to at least 200W which would do a better job as a towel heater, as we did. Doesn't warm the room much though. -- Algernon |

I would not be happy fitting that in a bathroom even with the plug chopped off and using a FCU. Probably safe in a toilet if your aim is OK:-) -- Adam |
