Re: Bathroom inline fan wiring to pull cord switch Post by Mr White Fri Sep 29, 2023 6:27 pm You have the wrong switch, the wrong fan and the wrong diagram.

Hello, I have just installed an extractor fan in the bathroom and am now trying to connect it to come on with the light switch. To make sure it all works, I have connected a plug to the the end of the wiring and all works. I am having problems connecting it to the pull cord sitch.

Oddly. This latter option can allow you to control the fan as normal from the light switch when the built in fan pull cord is in the on position, but allows you to also turn the fan off via the built in pull cord which will allow the light to be used without triggering the fan.

It takes no active part in the operation of the fan. In order to connect your new fan correctly you will need to run an extra live wire to the new fan. If the old fan was of the pull-switch type then the new live has to run from the light.

(This becomes the switched live and turns the fan on and off). If the fan. Here in the UK almost every bathroom will have a pull cord switch mounted to the ceiling.

Hi, I've no real experience of electrics and looking for some advice on where I'm going wrong with this simple wiring set up for a bathroom extractor. Going from bathroom light switch (pull cord) to isolation switch to a Fantronix (timer) extractor fan.
