1 fan 2 bathrooms?

[aidge]

Hi, please could anybody help me with a wiring diagram for wiring up two adjacent bathrooms to the same fan via relays? The fan is located in the attic space and would need both switches to independently switch the fan. Thanks in advance

Cheapskate. Install a 2nd fan, far easier all round!

Is the fan to have an over run timer and do you have access to change the wiring to the switches?

what sort of fan is it and how is it being ducted

 

[markc123]

Think about the additional protection possibly needed aswell...

 

[telectrix]

split duct. 1 leg to each room.

Are both bathrooms on same lighting circuit. I can only think it is an in-line fan with ducting going to both bathrooms.

use double pole pullcord switches.
one pole of each pullcord switches local light, other pole feeds s/l to fan iso.

Sorry guys computer went down last night! Thanks for replies. It is a vortice lineo VO fan ducting out of the soffit. Obviously an expensive fan and both bathrooms small especially the one in question. I have wired two bathrooms tthrough a single fan before using 2 contractors but cannot remember the wiring. If anybody knows of a wiring diagram or can draw it simply for me I would be very gratefull.

Before all the jokes start it should have said contactors not'contractors'

Well the double pole light switches are achieving absolutely nothing in the two bathroom set-up. I assume they are there because you can't buy a single pole pull cord.

It does as if you use single pole that also switches the light on, the light in the other bathroom would come on as well

Lets hope 2 people don't want to use the toilets when its dark then!!

Laurie - just check the drawing again. One pole of each switch switches the fan and the other pole switches the light in that room. All looks good to me.
