pull cord

[rantoftheday]

do we need to put a pull cord / switch in when installing a shower?

Not if the shower doesn't contain a motor

I thought local isolation was a must with any fixed appliance?
If not its good practice!!

those pesky 2 stroke showers can be a real pain to start on a cold morning, as well.

That's a myth. Nowhere in the regs does the words 'Local isolation' appear.

It may be considered good practice in most cases, but that's not what the OP asked. In response to what he did ask, no, we don't need to put an isolator in unless the shower contains an integral pump (motor). And even then, in some cases, you won't need to either.
