Does such a thing exist ?
I have a dual fuel towel rail, soon to be in zone 2 due to installation of a shower cubicle next to it. The towel rail's presently on a switched fused spur but I understand it should be on an rcd if in zone 2. I can change the existing switched fcu for a rcd fcu but I can't find a switched one meaning towel rail being on permanently. Is the obvious alternative to have a separate switch ?
Thanks in advance.

the very fact that it's an RCD FCU means that it will have a test button and a reset button.. these are the on and off switches...same as on an RCD socket..
 
Yeah I'd seen that powerbreaker one on screwfix, seems a neat looking thing. Noticed some rcd sockets have a normal rocker switch in addition to a reset button, that prompted me to ask the question.

Thanks for the quick replies.

It was originally the immersion heater circuit. Thats now gone replaced by towel rad.
 
So you have a split load board? is there space on the RCD side, might be easier to move the circuit across?

The immersion was fed by economy 7 side and normal side. The towel rad is using the non economy 7 circuit. There's no RCD side on this board.
