[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 507379, member: 8133"] Pull cord fan isolators are available [URL="https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/BG804.html"]https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/BG804.html [/URL]but its probably unlikely that the OP requires one. Basins don't affect zoning, only baths and showerers do. Its likely that its above zones, as anything above 2.25m is likely to be, also if its more. The question of 'is this suitable for this particular location' is a valid line to be thinking along, but hes likely reached a very cautious outcome, if it was directly above the shower, then even if it was above the zoning then I'd be thinking its not suitable for the area, but in that case the answer would be to relocate it, there wouldn't be much point in changing it to a pull cord one. A fan isolator would generally be operated infrequenctly, normally when de-fluffing the fan from time to time, I beleive ProDave is against them in rental properties because his tennants kept turning it off and then complained of mouldiness! As an ultimate sanity test....take the calvin harris approach....... was it acceptable in the 80s?.... back then the 15th edition regulations were current, there were very few RCDs to protect folk if it went wrong, as long as it wasnt reachable when standing in the bath or shower then it wasn't a problem [/QUOTE]
