If you want to arrange the wiring in the bath, it is necessary to take into account some of the features and nuances. This room humid and high temperature, so you should explore all thoroughly before you take up a job.
We strongly recommend to engage in the implementation of such works only to professionals, because if not properly carrying out wiring possible tragedy.
Bath wiring must withstand high temperatures and humidity. At any slightest faults, short-circuits, which can lead to death.
Policy for bathhouse wiring
As we have noted above, because this place is very wet, the sockets should be placed in such a way that they do not accumulate condensate. If we ignore these simple rules, then the short-circuit can not be avoided.
People can suffer from an electric shock, so follow all precautions.
Strongly recommended to lay the wiring in the corners of the bath and in places where people will sit. The cable must be located at least at a distance of one and a half meters from the stove and generator.
Mounting
Wiring can be installed either in the open or on a hidden pattern.
Practical approach for baths of blocks or bricks. In this wooden prohibited fire safety rules are mounted only open on top of the walls.
Cables are routed so that it is in any case not in contact with water, and no one interfered. When installing be sure to install the device for tripping.
All auxiliary elements such as shield, the central switch and distribution box, consider installing outside the premises. So you protect yourself and others from a short circuit in damp conditions.
Wire is recommended to attach the insulators and outlet isolated with plastic covers.
If you want to spend the cable through the walls of wood, what to do is not difficult. You can drill them directly, but be sure to insulate all the holes with a metal tube. In order to structure is not collapsed, do not drill the seams and joints.
Wiring itself is also insulated with a plastic or metallic bellows, or may cause a fire. In a plastic corrugated advantage over metal in that it is not heated.
How to bring a cable?
If your bathroom is by the house a few meters away, there are options you can use, such as:
- Pull the cable from the house on the ground;
- Pull the cable through the air.
The second option is considered to be easier and more convenient. You just need a pair of support poles and cables.
To carry out the wiring underground, need copper armored cable. Wiring should be buried to a depth of one meter. The place where it will be held, it is possible in the future somehow decorate, so that later, when you decide to change the wiring, you can easily find a place where it was buried.
