Great explanation of terminology and how the live from the loop is fed via the neutral from the wall switch - i.o.w. the neutral from the wall switch is only neutral when the switch is off, and is LIVE when the switch is on!

Very helpful straightforward instruction - i've installed my extractor fan (via the ceiling) and everything works perfect - thanks

finally someone in the uk doing good clear videos on this sort of thing. been looking for something like this for ages! im planning to do this only using my pull cord light switch for my bathroom ceiling light (4 led spot lights) and take a feed from that circuit to power a larger high volume extractor fan mounted in the attic, which will then vent through a soffet vent. well, thats the plan anyway!

@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE hi your diagram shows two wires for a light switch but some bathroom switches have four (L&N in, L&N out) as per link below. How does that change the diagram, and how do you get all those wires (and the wiring for the fan isolator) into a ridiculously small junction box - is there a "knack" to it? www.toolstation.com/bg-screwless-flat-plate-brushed-stainless-steel-20a-dp-switch/p85449

They're quite a bit bigger than I expected. kzread.infoUgkxb-KpJPmXtqM2xdYLP72ICq6QCcD0V8e7 If you ever had an air king round tilting fan, these are basically the same thing but in a window shroud. There's quite a few reviews about them being out of balance. I can say that mine pretty close to balanced. I purchased two of them for cooling my shop during my crypto operation. One intake, one exhaust. Combined they're moving over 7K CFM which is plenty for my 20x30 shop. If it helps you comprehend just how much air they move, both of them on intake and it's incredibly hard to close the door on my shop. The prescribed dimensions are accurate, they barely fit in my small windows.

Great videos, mate. All the better for being in a familiar accent. I've re-fitted a bathroom mostly with your help. Thanks!

Should I seal the fan to the roof using silicone I have a plastic roof in the bathroom I can feel a draft coming though the gaps

Could you post an alternative diagram if your installation is Quickwire (or similar push and click fit connection systems), not ancient ceiling roses? They only have twin core and earth, and of course you need three core for the fan isolator. How do you square that circle? (I've asked Quickwire and they're developing a three core and earth version but until that comes to market...)

Question: I have a tank room above my bathroom and was thinking of installing a bathroom fan. The problem is the walls are two feet thick. In this tank room is the small feed tank (Header Tank) for the radiator system to keep them topped up. Do you think a hose from the fan to this tank would work as a condenser when the warm air hits the cold? I realise I'd have to seal the lid and any excess air could go down the overflow.

great video, really helpful and clear explanation and tells me exactly what I needed to know to retrofit a fan. just one query - you added a second cable to the connector on the ceiling rose - so there are now 4 wires connected in just three holes for the live and for the neutral and 3 wires in 2 holes for the earth (06:35) I read on a forum elsewhere that this was bad practice and should not be done and that instead you should have only one wire per hole. I assume its safe because you've done it but does it meet regs?

Brilliant thank you 😊

This worked a treat, believe it or not my friend who is a qualified spark but been working with Siemens Renewables over 15yrs now, he told me that the Grey was the Switched Live and Black Neutral... Didn't quite feel right, done some reading and checking out diagrams then found this, so for all the bollocks on here from obvious tradesmen scaremongering and feeling the pinch, this guy uploading a vid, doesn't scream "fkn do this now!" He knows if we've went as far as check out vids on it, we've pretty much made our minds up that we've got our head set in doing it anyway but just looking for guidance.. If I zapped myself, took some Sith lightning, I can't blame this guy, electricity is dangerous, its serious, we know this, do we take precautions, yes, do we go it on one video alone without reading up, checking wiring diagrams and reaching for a multimeter? No!... I for one found this to be extremely helpful... If you guys with the knowledge and training want to help, charge a fair price! £80 for a light to get fitted is among the jokes I've heard, it's not rocket fkn science, follow good safety protocols and you'll get there, want to come on and rip into the ones who dare to take money out your loot sack, erm!

Would it be the same but without the need for the 3 core and earth and have a twin core and earth instead, without the need for a permanent live? I watched both the DX100T and DX100, initially thinking the Dx100 was without a timer, ooops

I like your style - all good. Only thing I'd say is that I'd be inclined to choc-block off the redundant earth in the fan, as there is a risk of it potentially coming into contact with something carrying current in the fan, and thereby making the earth live, and giving you an earth/trip problem

Loving your videos but I had a question regarding the Wagos. At 7:32 you put the switch live going to the extractor fan into a Wago block with two connectors. Why didnt you use a Wago with three connections? Is it because you didnt have a three connection Wago, or does it need to be in the same place as the other wire? Sorry, I think I confused myself!

I have installed a timer bathroom extractor fan (Manrose Quiet), but not wired in. I want (need) a RCD protected consumer unit, so contacted a niceic registered electrician for a quote, so thought he might aswell wire the fan in too. When I said that the manufacturers instruction state that a 3A fcu "MUST" be fitted. He said "Nah, I'll just fit a 10 or 15 amp fuse" 😕..................Thanks for your time mate, time to get my toolbox out again!!

Hi, I understand the installation you described in your video. However, you don't use a 3 amp fused spur which is necessary with the fan I have. Yes, It runs off a 6 amp mcb but I think it needs to be 3 amp so that it trips at 3 amp and not at 6 amp as that is too much. Now I guess I would need to use 2 fused boxes as there are 2 lives. S/L and permanent. Pain in the ass! A triple pole double fuse isolation switch would be great but they don't exist. Any Ideas? Thanks Alan

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE

7 жыл бұрын

Hi, if you wire it off the light circuit as I show in the video then no need to add an FCU as it is already on the correctly rated 6 amp MCB at the consumer unit. What you are referring to I believe is running the fan from the ring main power? If so, you spur the cable off the ring main (either from a socket or junction box) straight to the FCU (in 2.5mm cable like is used for sockets.) After the 3amp FCU (the load) you can use 1.5mm lighting cable as this is safe to use with 3amp protection. Something to bear in mind is that unless you then create a switched live in the circuit, you won't be able to use a timed fan as a timer fan needs a permanent live and a switched live to operate correctly. Hope that helps, good luck and thanks for watching!

Thank you mate, well explained.
