Wiring up bathroom fan from pull cord. Correct?

[armyash]

Hi everyone,

I have a bathroom fan to wire up tomorrow evening. I have had a look through the instructions but wanted to double check a few things.

The fan has no timer just a neutral and live.

The light pull cord has just L1 and com and earth connections so can I use this?

I am fitting an isolator switch for the fan just outside the bathroom.

From what I see it needs a fused spur with a 3amp fuse. I'll keep it clear what I think I need to do. I need a neutral for the fan so this is what I think is throwing me.

1. Cable from light switch to fuse spur.

2. Cable from fuse spur to fan switch.

3. Cable from fan switch to fan.

I know there may need to be some alterations to the existing. If anyone can advise further that would be great. Thanks

Should have timer, you need live, switched live, N, E. take from ceiling rose to 3 pole isolator, i think

best get a sparky as bathrooms are a special place eg anything inside needs to be done by a qualified person

unless your talking about an inline one

Thanks.
Would an inline one be less hassle?

No idea but is @leesparkykent still on here?

To be honest, if you are having to ask these questions, it is evident that you are neither qualified to do this legally, unless you are putting it through Building Control, (?) nor have you made the investment in training or reading the relevant literature that would make me think you were basically going to be doing this safely (albeit illegally).
To find a neutral behind a light switch in the UK is very very rare indeed.
Not trying to be hostile, but since everyone on this forum seems to go into panic mode any time anyone mentions working on a sealed system, on solid fuel, or on gas, perhaps we should be consistent and apply the same rule to electrics, lest we be accused of job protectionism above safety.

That’s why I added the link to @leesparkykent
