I am looking to get someone in to install a timed extractor fan in the bathroom. The fan would go through the wall in zone 3 and I plan to have this connected to the lighting circuit in the bathroom, which I understand is permissible providing there is a double pole isolator switch between the lighting rose and the cable leading direct from this rose to the fan. The existing light switch is a pull cord near the door, within zone 3. All wiring appears new in the property.
I have seen some really useful discussions on this page, about this issue and the associated wiring layout. However, I have a few further questions which I would be grateful if anyone could advise on.
- Can this double pole isolator be located in the bathroom, e.g. in zone 3, directly adjacent to the timed fan?
- If the above is not possible, can the double pole isolator be integrated / combined with the light pull cord switch, adjacent to the door?. I think I may have seen double pull cord switches for fans and lights in other properties (e.g. one cord for operating the light as normal (fan comes on when light on) and one cord (higher up) for the fan isolator switch.).
In summary, I am wanting to avoid (if possible) having the isolator switch in the adjacent room (kitchen), as this would involve detrimental work to the kitchen finishes.
Any help greatly appreciated.
