You&rsquo;ve got steam everywhere and water splashing just about every surface. If you want that IPX5 rating, you can&rsquo;t just throw some plastic wrap around the heater and call it a day. You need a real plan to keep water from jumping the gap between the live wires and the metal frame.</p> <h2 id="the-reality-of-ipx5">The <a href="https://goldisgood.com">reality</a> of IPX5</h2> <p>An IPX5 rating basically means the unit can take a direct hit from a water jet at any angle and not freak out. In a steamy bathroom, the danger zones are always the connection points. That&rsquo;s why we use sealed gaskets and &ldquo;potted&rdquo; terminals—basically filling the gaps with a protective compound to block any path for water. If a drop of water hits a live <a href="https://o-yate.net">terminal</a>, it’s looking for a way to the ground. We stop that in its tracks with double-insulated housings and materials that stay resistive even when they&rsquo;re soaking wet.</p>
