Buying more adapters will add to environmental problems caused by the prolifieration of waste electrical equipment. Many homes will however, have spare three pin plugs for reuse. Ideally look for a model with double wound isolating transformer, integral overload protection and shutters on the plug inlets to prevent any accidental splashing. Once a suitable supply has been found the next task is to isolate the supply to the circuit you are using! If in any doubt, the power to the entire house is turned off. Once this is done, a minor works certificate is then issued to prove the installation has been carried out correctly.

Wall chased out and cable placed in chase and protective UPVC pipe Step 3 – Install Fused Connection Unit (FCU) This is a good question and one I have often thought about myself. Including an adapter in the box would be a nice addition.However, I have noticed that the shaver adapter I use for the Vitality doesn’t charge the other two. Through experiments, I have concluded that the shaver adapters sold now are 1 amp and this isn’t high enough for the Pro range of oral b toothbrushes. I have an ancient 2 amp adapter (belonging to my dad who is now 91) which does charge the Pro series toothbrushes. For example, let’s say you live in the UK and are going to the USA and assuming you are going long enough that you need to charge your brush when there.

Strictly speaking, from an Oral-B perspective, there is no option for this at this time. So you cannot charge your current electric toothbrush from a USB port within your van. Zone 0 – the interior of the bath or shower which can hold water. No appliances should be installed here period! If either of the above are ignored, if any issues occur and you cannot produce a certificate for the works then there is a good chance that your home insurance will be invalid, so it certainly isn’t worth the risk. In the UK there are very strict rules on who can and cannot do certain electrical jobs.

Right now, aside from switching to a completely different brand of brush that can charge from the USB port in your van (Sonicare DiamondClean/DiamondClean Smart) you have no other option.

When securing wires ensure that the retaining screw that holds the wire in place is tightened fully and that it has plenty of bare wire to clamp down on to. Skross Pro World Travel Adapter, 3-pole Travel Adaptor with Slide System, Designed in Switzerland... To be honest, I would have done the same thing. Aside from the 2 pin AUS power connector, the UK voltage is very similar and will have likely been supported by your charging stand. Using electrical equipment in bath or shower rooms has always needed great care to ensure safety due to the obvious risks of mixing water and electricity.Bathrooms are deivided into designated zones, 0, 1, 2 and regulations cover what type of light, heater other appliances can or cannot be installed in the different zones.

Some electric toothbrushes have charging stands that will support 110-240V meaning you will not need the voltage converter. The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean is one example. In both cases, the cables are run down through the ceiling and down a chase cut into the wall to run to both locations The cable is then normally capped (covered with a protective UPVC capping) or run through some UPVC trunking/pipe to protect it and hold it in place. What you may need though is a plug adapter. This is to convert the 2 pin adapter found on most charging stands in the UK and Europe to work with the power supply in the other country. Once in place the cable was then tested to ensure there were no breaks etc. This is a necessary step as once the cable is filled over it’s a nightmare to have to dig it all out if it’s damaged.

Once all the wires have been connected, the face plate is then screwed on to the pattress box, fixing it in place.
