style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Many electricians who are new to replacing wiring in an apartment are very interested in the question of what should be the installation height of sockets from the floor according to European standards. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">The fact is that the so-called European standard regarding the location of electrical \u201cpoints\u201d does not exist. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">The legend goes back to the time when they were just starting to renovate, that the products are installed 30 cm above the floor. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">This distance was chosen only for practical reasons and there are no regulatory documents prohibiting the choice of another distance.<\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.electricianexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/visota_rozetki-5.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

standard wiring\" width=\"500\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">At the same time, the PUE rules stipulate certain requirements for the height of sockets in the bathroom, which are associated with protection against electric shock. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">We will talk about this male, in fact, as well as some points from GOST and SP standards. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Well, since we have already touched upon this issue, we cannot fail to mention the Soviet standard, according to which the minimum distance from the floor was 90 cm. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">This value was justified by the fact that with this mode, the object will always be in the person&#8217;s field of vision.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/my.electricianexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/visota_rozetki-4.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"

inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Useful Tips<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">So, let&#8217;s look at what height it is better to install sockets for each specific room in the apartment, as well as for the most popular household appliances.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">the kitchen<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">In the kitchen, the standard installation height of sockets should be as follows:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">For connecting the refrigerator, washing machine and dishwasher: 10-20 cm from the floor. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">This value is the best, in relation to the length of the electrical cord from the device. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Some manufacturers produce household appliances with a short cord that does not even reach half a meter.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">20 cm above the countertop (in the kitchen apron area), totaling about 110 cm from the floor. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">This sign will be ideal for labeling small-sized kitchen appliances, which are often located directly on the table: microwave, kettle, blender, crock pot, etc.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">To install the hood, you need to connect the outlet at a height of at least 2 meters from the floor.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">the bathroom<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">This room has high humidity, so the height of the sockets from the floor in the bathroom should be chosen wisely. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Here we must be guided not only by the interior of the room, but also based on the requirements according to GOST and PUE.<\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.electricianexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/visota_rozetki-4.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2889\" title=\"Picture of connecting a washing machine in the bathroom\" src=\"https:\/\/my.electricianexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/visota_rozetki-4.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of connecting a washing machine in the bathroom\" width=\"500\" height=\"452\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">You yourself understand that it is strictly prohibited to fix products near water, so at least 60 cm, and preferably a meter, should be withdrawn from the sink, shower and other objects. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">The recommended height should also be practical so as not to pull the cord from a hair dryer, electric shaver or the same washing machine.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">We recommend using the following values:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">l Connecting an electric kettle to the wall &#8211; 1.5 meters;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">For hair dryer and razor &#8211; 1 meter;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Washing machine &#8211; not less than half a meter.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"blockquote\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Here you should also pay attention to a very important nuance &#8211; you do not need to place products lower than 15 cm from the floor! <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">This is due to the fact that the bathroom is susceptible to small floods, which occur in the event of a malfunction of household appliances, and when the owners forget. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">So that flooding of the room does not become a threat to life (if water gets into the outlet), you should place electrical accessories at a safe height, at least not lower than 15 cm.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">bedroom<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Everything is simple here, we have one electrical point near the bed, next to the bedside table &#8211; for connecting a phone charger or a night lamp. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">The other is according to European standards &#8211; 30 cm above the floor covering.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Another should be for backup &#8211; for example, to connect a vacuum cleaner during cleaning or an air conditioner \/ fan. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">If you decide to hang the TV on the wall or install it on the bedside table, then the place for connecting the electrical cord can be placed behind the screen, which will hide all the wires behind it. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">To operate the computer, it is recommended to install the outlet on the desktop, at a height of 30 cm from the floor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"blockquote\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">As for the concerns of some &#8220;professionals&#8221; who argue that a backup outlet should be placed higher than that of young children, these are all old concerns. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Today, there are products with protective curtains and covers that prevent dangerous contact.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Summing up<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">So we&#8217;ve provided helpful height recommendations to make your plugs healthier and safer. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">In the end, I would like to add a very important nuance that will help you determine the exact location of each electrical point.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Before you start installing walls and installing wiring in the house, make a diagram in which the following elements are identified:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">The exact location of all furniture in the room;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Types of home appliances with their exact location;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Gas and water supply areas;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Path of electrical wires along the walls;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Windows and doorways.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Already on the created diagram, determine the most suitable height for installing outlets from the floor, so you will definitely not lose.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"blockquote\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Otherwise, electrical accessories installed after arranging the furniture may be blocked by objects or at a great distance from them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<h4 style=\"text-align: right\"><strong><span style=\"vertical-align:

Therefore, we have decided to devote our next paragraph to pointing out the most prominent features of the Jezli site.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">One of the most prominent features of the site is the proportionality of prices. On the Jeezly website, you do not have to worry about the imaginary prices of the products, as is the case with most sites that display their products on the Internet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">The price of delivering products is very reasonable and not expensive, and the site accepts delivery to various countries, without forgetting that it accepts free shipping on some products.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">One of the advantages of the site is also the high quality of its products, as it is impossible to find a poor quality product. Rather, the Jezli website deals with major companies, Philips, for example, and other famous brands, so you must remove from your mind the idea of \u200b\u200bthe poor quality of one of the products. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Another advantage of the site is that it does not specialize in one type of product, but rather you will find various types of products on it, for example, electrical appliances, hand tools, mechanical devices, paints, packages for establishing apartments, and many other types.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Jeezly website also accepts what is known as the shopping cart, which makes it easy for you to filter the products you want to buy and put them in one package in order to be able to pay with the click of a single button.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Accepts multiple payment methods.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/gahzly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50673 size-full\" title=\"Components of an electrical circuit Components of an electrical circuit\" src=\"https:\/\/gahzly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/editor-1s-188px-15.gif\" alt=\"Electrical circuit components\" width=\"188\" height=\"188\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">We are pleased that you visit our social media pages, where we publish exclusive offers on our website.<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Our Facebook page\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Gahzlystore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">is here<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"> .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Our Twitter account\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gahzly1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">is here<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"> .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the installation height of outlets according to the rules? &nbsp; &nbsp; The height of the sockets from the floor should be such that there is no risk of mechanical damage and water ingress.
