shower isolation switch

[Guest55]

Simple, It's double pole, it must be an isolator.

And I seem to remember when showers first started to become popular (pre 15th regs?) that the pull cord had to be within reach of the person in the shower.

not quite , the device has to able to be locked / secured in the off position to be classed as an isolator , and you cant do that with a pull-cord.
where as a switch for maintenance does not require this.

Well...... my normal response....if the shower is on a shared RCD then anyone NOT fitting a DP isolator needs their bumps felt!

Minds much greater than our own my friend. The only person in this country qualified to dispute such authority is a Mr D W Cockburn. If you are not him, then just accept it's right.

What about Mrs DW Cockburn...surely isn't she ALWAYS right just like all women
