Obelix Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Part P and bathroom regulations anyone...? :-) Get a sparky. If you are having to ask these sort of questions you don;t want to be installing this in a bathroom yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truman Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think my safety would be worth at least £45 Is it a new installation or are you replacing an existing one? Does it only come on after you've pulled the cord or is it on all the time no matter what you do with the cord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megalithic Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Is a pull cord conductive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 After being in a steamy bathroom with sufficient muck on it, yes, it could well be. Could it be dangerously conductive? I've no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
