What I can see is an Aidelle extractor, it's a box, 17cm in each dimension, that protrudes into the room from the ceiling. On one side is a vent. The outside wall is about 2m away.

Thanks b-a-s. well, I figure it is in Zone3, being more than 0.6m away from the side of the bathtub. Only just, though. The existing switch makes me a bit nervous since it's a surface-mounted box that's not technically mounted to anything - it's just dangling from the two cables that go into...

hi, sorry to be a pain. Something like this?? cheers.

Thanks, ss, so does that mean there is no actual fuse?

what's the yellow for? is it to do with the timer overrun? And should the 13A fuse be there?

Hi, My bathroom extractor fan comes on when the light pull-switch is switched on; the fan then goes off some time after the lights are switched off. Okay. There's a switched fcu in the bathroom - this isolates the fan. Since the switch is actually in the way (from a decorating point of...

Hi, Just bought a set of 5 x 50W mains voltage halogen downlighters. Each unit has only a live and neutral connection at the base. The “instructions” that came with the set simply say “the units can be wired in series”. These lights are going to replace recessed ES light fittings...

I see what you mean. Was reading my diy bible and am now wondering whether the extractor FCU should be in the bathroom at all? Should it be situated outside the room instead?

Ok. Do you mean using the box's lugs to force their way into the plaster, or am I getting the wrong end of the stick?

Hello, I would like to change the surface-mounted FCU for the timed extractor in my bathroom to a flush unit. I have a few questions regarding this: Firstly, in general, can a plastic dry-lining box be used for mounting a flush FCU, or does a metal mounting box need to be used...
