According to the National Electrical Code, the bathtub zone is defined as the area extending 3 feet horizontally and 8 feet vertically from the rim of the bathtub or shower stall. In this zone, no parts of cord-connected luminaires, and ceiling-suspended (paddle) fans are permitted. It is important to prevent electrical shock hazards in this wet area. Grounding of all luminaires or cord-connected appliance receptacles to plumbing is required but not limited to the bathtub zone. Recessed lights and exhaust fans are not specifically prohibited in this zone but are subject to other rules and regulations.
