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?

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.

Yes, in my view if you want to heat a bathroom you will need at least 750
watts.
This may well warm something placed over it, but little else unless
somebody has invented a super efficient heating device you might as well
stick a 100 watt bulb in a box.

With that IP rating I doubt it will but aside from that if you are hoping something like that will heat your bathroom then forget it. 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.

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.

They are called 'towel warmers' for a reason, that's all they do

Quite. 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.

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:-)
