Hello,
I'm going to have a Manrose MF100 inline extractor fan installed in the loft for our bathroom. The electrician suggested wiring up the fan from the bathroom light and installling a pull cord in the bathroom to switch the fan off and on, as we didn't want it switching on with the bathroom light. We already have a pull down cord for the light and i've now realised its going to look messy with two pull down cords in a small bathroom.
I'm now thinking of removing the existing pull down cord for the bathroom light and having a double switch on the outside of the bathroom to control the light and fan.
The fan also mentions it needs to be protected by a 3Amp fuse. The existing lights are on a 6Amp MCB & RCD.
Do i also need to add a Fused Connection Unit for the fan? http://www.screwfix.com/p/13a-fused-connection-unit-spur-white/3524d
Also i'm assuming I also need to add an isolator switch for the fan, which I was probably going to install above the outside of the bathroom door?
Once i know what switches I need then I can install the back boxes in the plasterboard wall ready for the electrican to install the cabling.
Thanks for any advice/suggestions.
