Where do I stand with this one?

[brizospark]

I was asked today to install an extractor fan in a bathroom

So I was going to take a feed off of the lighting circuit

The fan i am installing does not require a cpc

however the lighting circuit in the property does not have a cpc anyway

Can i still install the fan or do i need to make sure the lighting is earthed since I have extended the circuit?

malcolm I was not getting carried away I was just trying to clarify the situation before all the do gooders started to slate me for double feeds. RFC?

Basic fan and PIR switch with integral timer. Bingo

ring final circuit

If your customer is happy to have the fan operated manually with a pull cord (as many do when they dont want the fan on at night when having a pee), then FCU of Ring Final Circuit as mentioned.

i've always preferred a pull cord independently switched, the majority of the time that a bathroom is occupied the extractor is not required

Pullcords are also often ignored, but then again like you said, some customers like to have control of a fan. It's all got to be down to what the customer wants really. Some want the fans, some hate them.

I’m keeping out of this!
But I’ll bet Joe from down the pub will get the job and it will be done in flex!

a very good reason to have the bathroom and the bog in separate rooms.

Nearly every day when were installing my boss just has to go for a dump in a customers house.....he thinks he`s leaving them a bit of company or summat.........

yes you could do it that way, no problem, you would just normally come off the lights as thats the nearest thing around usually.
