the light is connected to switch live and neutral, the fan is connected to the switch live, perm live and neutral

I have resolved the problem now, but it has come up with another, Yes they came as a kit, light inside the fan. The light is always on now, so i guess i need to install either a pull switch or another outside switch, the fan is only on when the bathroom light is turned on so dont understant it.

Hi guys, Just installed a new extractor fan in a bathroom im doing up and the LED light that goes in the fan is constantly flashing whether the switch is turned on or off. A separate light (not LED) in the bathroom works fine. Perm live in only going to the fan and not the light, Any ideas on...

im pretty sure by the pictures that you are using push-fit fittings. Also solvent weld cant be used outside.

they are slowely getting used to soft soldering in france, the reason they hard soldered was because the pressure of water could range massively, but now most homes have a 3 bar limiter installed, so soft soldering can be used. I am using the correct inserts, eg. the ones with the blue ring...
