boilers in bathrooms

[buckley plumb]

can Honeywell rf stats be fitted to boilers in bathrooms . got to fit a Worcester junior in a bathroom and from the charf it is not in zone 1 or 2 so any controls are ok . but are the receivers on most rf stats upto being in the bathroom or even allowed to be used in there

Best thing fit receiver outside bathroom (Above Door) and just run in cable maybe through loft.

As above. They should state their IP rating in their literature somewhere.
Is the boiler in a cupboard or enclosure?

I have used loads of Myson programmer rf stats in bathrooms. Son has washed ours a few times and just pop out batts and dry on a towel rail

why not use a wb rf stat , plugs direct onto boiler?

If it in a bathroom cupboard using a WB built in receiver may cause reception problems, outside bathroom and should be ok, do get problems sometimes down here with the old cottages (Thick walls) so receiver cant always go close to boiler.

not had a problem doing it down here, just made sure rx/stat worked ok before screwing it onto the wall, 2 foot solid walls the hardest problem was getting the screws to hold in old rubble and lime mortar walls.
