Had my NICEIC assessment today, all went well.
We got onto the subject of functional switching and they agreed that a switch for the shower is not necessary. My thoughts are, in future I am thinking about crimping the cables instead of putting in a new pull switch.
Just wondering what your thoughts are on this.
Ps my main reason for this is:- I see lots of these switches burnt out where the tenants switch the shower off (still under load) and by crimping thru it is one less point for a problem to occur.
Just thought I could use the red wago's which will take 6mm and are rated at 41A
Any thoughts?
 
I really can't see a problem with fitting an isolator pull cord. Just get a deep enough back box (I've seen some installed barely deep enough to fit the switch in), and take your time. As Spartykus says, it's about working methodically.
Now, having to replace one that someone's managed to fit above a 6 inch gap between the loo and bath is a different matter entirely, especially if they've taken a 2.5mm feed to an SFCU for a fan from it as well...
