Keeping Your Bathroom Infrared Heaters From Becoming a Hazard

Putting an infrared heater in a bathroom is a bit of a gamble if you aren’t careful. You’ve got steam everywhere and water splashing just about everywhere else. Standard housing just won’t cut it here. To keep things from shorting out, we stick with IP66-rated enclosures and a very specific way of sealing them up.

Dealing with the Steam

When people see “IP66,” they think about big splashes of water. But in a bathroom, the real villain is the condensation. Vapor is sneaky. It finds the tiniest gaps, settles on the electrical contacts, and suddenly you’ve got a conductive path where you don’t want one. We fight this with silicone gaskets and cable glands that are hermetically sealed. If that seal gives way, you’re looking at a tripped GFCI at best, or fried internal wiring at worst. Not a great way to start your morning.
