I'm fitting an electric towel rail.
The Towel rail is in the shower room
The Towel rail flex goes through the wall into an outside cupboard and into a flex connection plate; I want to use a Switched FCU/flex connection plate without neon.
From this FCU using flat twin and earth this goes into the loft and down into a 15/16 amp ceiling pull switch from there to the mains supply.

The Electrician's guide 17th Edition does not appear to have any information about this circuitry.

RCD will protect circuits in the Main consumer board.

Q - is this correct and what size grey flat twin and earth should be used; i.e. 2.5mm or 1.5mm.

Q - Must mains power circuit supply be used.

Q - Should the ceiling pull switch be a Double Pole switch with or without neon

1.5mm t&e will carry enough current and will be easier to terminate than 2.5mm t&e at the pullcord.
Q - Must mains power circuit supply be used.
And a other option would be?

You will have dp isolation at the S/FCU, neon your choice!

Many thanks for your reply.

I assume the supply will be from Ring power circuit 2.5mm Twin and Earth or from a 1.5mm Lighting Circuit.
