Hi All
Is it ok to route a TV aerial cable through a bathroom on its route from the loft to the ground floor? Not sure whether regs apply since it is not a current carrying cable? Plan to run it behind the door in a corner of the bathroom and hidden inside mini trunking.
Opinions anybody?

Don't see a problem, but don't you have an airing cupboard - much tidier to hide it in there!

The bathroom is getting ripped apart in a few months time so will only be on show until then, which is why I'm going to take this proposed route
Cheers

ISTR someone telling me that permitted zones were a bit more restricting in bathrooms, e.g. you can't run a co-ax up the corner.
He is suffering from strangulated grammar. I doubt he is bothered much about co-ax rules and regs.

The answer to your question is yes it is a current carrying cable, though the current is very small.
Inside trunking, with an outer sheath covering the outer metal conductor. The chances of such a cable introducing a potential into the room are fairly close to zero, other than in a lightning strike.
I don't see a problem with this setup for a few months until more work is done.
