Fused spur & Part P
 

I may be installing a power shower in the near future. It will need a (3
amp) fused spur.

Is diy ok, or does it fall foul of Part P?

Inside the scope of Part P as it's in a bathroom in a dwelling.

The spur could be outside the bathroom.....

Gonna be Part P, I'm afraid - in a special location.

Erm, it's in a shower room. No bath, no toilet, no handbasin... and I
just know you're going to tell me that it's still Part P.

Second attempt to wriggle out. The installation instructions say that the
switch must be out of reach of anyone using the shower and that it could be
outside the room. Still Part P?

what I don't get is all these people who want to wriggle around part P, but
post here looking for some sort of get out clause. If you want to do it
them go ahead and do it.
If they are going to prosecute you then you could well be giving then some
ammo by leaving this trail of documentation, showing that you are aware of
part P... they're monitoring everything you know :-)

If you are competent then there is no great issue, ultimately it will be
very difficult for THEM to prove it was installed after 1/1/2005, at least
for a good few years, unless your cable, or pump has a date code on it.

But as an alternative view, it is my understanding that items under the
bathroom floor do not fall under part P as a special location (e.g lighting
circuits) so with the spur located outside the room there is some scope for
looking at this in a similar vain, depending on the exact location of the pump.

Perhaps my decision to use 'wriggle' was a bad one.

Just looking to find a way to do it without contravening Part P. If I can
do it legally, I will. If not, I won't. Hence the 'trail' isn't an issue
for me.
