Electric towel rail (radiator) currently running off a 3 pin plug

Is the socket protected by an RCD ?
900 watt can be run from a plug ,but connecting to a fused connection unit would be the norm for a fixed appliance in a bathroom.
As far as I can recall there is no regulation that prevents it from being run from a plug in an adjoining room,but I am happy to be corrected

 

No point in having an RCD socket when the circuit is protected by an RCD at the consumer unit.
There is no such regulation regarding where the towel rail should be connected ,only where sockets ,switches etc must not be sited in bathrooms / zones where they are not permitted.

 

If its RCD'd at the board you don't need another one. No reason why you cant have it next door. How many toilets have light switches outside, shower switches or fan switches outside? With regulations stating these switches should be outside in many instances. Nothing stopping you putting in a switched spur in the bedroom through to an cable outlet to tidy it up? Finishing it correctly is always a benefit but does mean a little more work

Nice radiator by the way

 

The regs are clear on the

It might be helpful to re-read Section 701 of the current wiring regulations. I cannot see any such regulation, but may have missed it, so if you can point me too it that would help. 'Outside' the zones but not outside the room containing the zones.

 

Zzzz another muppet who likes to read into what was said.

To the OP there is simply nothing wrong with what you have stated. I offered you an alternative solution to tidy it up and make it look a bit more professional. We have no idea of the size of the toilet to which you refer so speaking about zones is pointless and rather silly if I am being honest. Whether or not it is in or out of the zones, the fact remains, MOST switches in a toilet environment are outside the toilet area as condensation etc is a hazard, most good sparks will place switches outside to avoid that. You get the odd pedantic one who likes to try pick fault (I wont mention any names), but generally in the trade setting they are laughed at and brushed aside as being ..... well being a word I wont use on this forum! Imagine working with this bloke. I pity anybody who does!
