Constant trickle fans -Fan isolators or fused spur?

[JohnW2]

a 3 pole fan isolator "fish key" switch ("Grid switch" type) is about £7 inc VAT from Screwfix etc,

How much do 'spare keys' cost, I wonder

Or make one yerself (Our Save a Shilling Generations )

I think a simple 'hidden' fused isolator will suffice.
Cant see them pulling a fuse tbh.

Thanks

I am not keen on any isolator being "Hidden" That is just one reason that I do not like accessories in cupboards too.
In an "Emergency" or an "Urgency" I prefer in easy sight but slightly out of normal reach to the point it is still fairly reachable if determined and able enough for folks generally. In other words to deter but not prevent deliberate operation - can sometimes be quite difficult to get the correct balance I know.

Then you are talking about emergency switches; not isolators.

Neither being required for an extractor fan.

That is why I put both words in quotes - might be viewed as such by an ordinary person when a need to switch off quick seems important but not what others (we) might mean.
Yes I should have reworded it.
