nearest power point. If you have the opportunity to
plan your bathroom accordingly only a very small
length of cable will be visible.
All the components to complete either method are

will accommodate the cable feed. Drill this hole at
25mm diameter. See Fig 4.

13mm hole so the power cable can be pulled
through at a later date.

holes. Ensure this cable is not live.
