Would this makeshift steam room/sauna work and be safe?
Some guys at my local climbing gym are taking the easy way on losing weight with a steam room (I guess it wouldn’t be a sauna because it is not technically a properly regulated humidity environment). They have a a room probably 8 by 8 with a shower in it. They turn the shower up high on hot water and then at the other side of the room, they run two electric space heaters on the hottest setting. They then run in place, ride on a stationary bike, do push-ups, sit-ups, or just sweat it out. Is this safe in terms of electricity with the space heaters? I am desperate for a steam room to sweat off some weight but this just doesn’t sound safe.
Space heaters are not listed for use in damp or wet locations. If this area is enclosed, and includes a drain and the shower mixer/shower head; it is defined by the NEC as a shower space, and no electrical receptacles are allowed in that space. Not even GFCI receptacles, NOTHING!
Tell your buddies to quit while they are alive.
