About this deal

If I wish to isolate the fan, am I correct in saying I will have to disconnect the cable from the fan to spot 1 and and run a new twin core and earth (switched live/neutral) from the fan towards the pull switch (actually isolator) or should I just disconnect both (green) cables and run 3 core and earth instead?

However the existing pull cord I have does not have an insert or screw at L2 to secure wires with? I'm not sure if they were there before I started, or not? Have read this issue before regarding M I and fan protection via 3A fuse. No sign of this and as I'm sure is pretty usual, the supply has been taken from the lighting circuit and so protected with a 6A breaker at CU Is she being fobbed off here ? I think so and would you guys fit a pull cord isolator, resulting in 3 pull cords Then permutations take place some people do not like the fan on every time they enter the bathroom as at night they can disturbe people and want an isolation switch Walls were dot, dabbed and plaster boarded before tiling so even chasing out walls for cables was not neededSo just to clarify for me please, a switched 3 pole isolator can be fitted in the bathroom, provided that it is out of zones 1 & 2

Clearly marked with a fan symbol and "Isolator", this 10A, 3 pole pullcord fan isolator switch is supplied with fixing screws and covers and benefits from clear terminal markings. I may take the issue up with the bathroom firm on behalf of my sister, just wanted to make sure that I have the correct facts For clarity I intend to connect these or other wires to a fan isolator switch on the other side of a stud wall. This issue has been discussed loads on this forum, I see Seneca's post above regarding this but would bet that more often than not, a 3A fused spur is not used

In saying this there are electricians that will say the fan permanent feed can be isolated from consumer unit circuit breaker and feed for switched live to fan should be covered by this for maintanence The cable running from the fan to spot 1, spot 2 and finally towards the pull switch is using a single brown wire for the switched live and a single blue wire for the neutral. Two other cables are also looped between the spots. The cable running up the left from the fan and along the top towards the pull switch is using a single (brown) wire for the live. Not able to clarify if It's running directly between the two, but presume (1 wire) they are? My sister has just had her bathroom gutted and refitted by a local firm, generally a really nice job but just a couple of minor niggles to sort out The only other terminals are com and what appears to be a symbol with a number of horizontal deminishing lines with one vartical line above, or otherwise, depending on how you look at it?
