Can I silicone around an electric shower?

FAQ Header Image (Can I silicone around an electric shower?)

It is not recommended to silicone around an electric shower system.

In accordance with electrical standards, electric showers are required to be IPX4 rated, which means the shower itself will offer protection from water ingress when the water is sprayed at all angles.

Furthermore, silicone sealant could actually cause potential damage to the shower case, leading to cracking which would allow water ingress to enter.
