I have a new heated towel rack that can be either hardwired or "soft
-wired," but there is a (rubber coated) switch on the unit that is of concern. The rack is 2' wide, 40" tall, mounted to the wall. My intuition, common sense, or I read this somewhere that "no electrical switch nor outlet should be within reach of any tub/shower." Heated towel racks are more common in Europe and I'm wondering how these are typically installed (there or in America). I may decide to cut off the switch box (destroying the warranty) and use Romex to feed the wire inside the walls and over the ceiling to a wall mounted 24-hour switch inside an adjacent closet which is inside the master bathroom. Thanks for helpful thoughts.
