Hi Diynot-ers
Long time lurker, first time poster here. Would really appreciate your thoughts on the following.
I am installing an 240v ip45 fan extractor in zone 2 of my bathroom. (suitable for purpose)
My question is regarding the isolator switch. Normally of course I would install this outside the bathroom, however, given the interesting arrangement of electrical install in my bathroom the switched and permanent live for my lights are all accessible in a junction box sealed behind the fitted vanity sink unit.
With a bit of jiggery pokery it is possible for me to gain access to this and potentially to fit a double pole switch inside this cupboard, potentially negating the need for me to rip up my bathroom to stick the isolator outside the bathroom.
My question is this. Strictly speaking of course - inside the cupboard is outside all zones of the bathroom so therefore I should be able to put my isolator there - I think! and I can't find anything to specifically say no I can't do that in the 17th - except for the lovely vague 'external influences'.
So what do you guys reckon? Can I, or can't I? and as an added precaution has anyone come across a IP rated double pole isolator I could use?
Thanks very much for your thoughts guys!
