How to wire bathroom fan Extractor fan with timer and Fan Isolator

[@rajchauhan3603]

Watching this video has given me so much confidence, you could not be any clearer. Thank You

[@pontdain]

Seeing actual wires makes the process infinitely more easy to understand than trying to comprehend a wiring diagram. We'll done!

[@LucianMNitu]

The most clear, concise and straight to the point video about this topic that I have found so far. And I didn't need to look further as all info I needed was here! Thank you for your help.

[@MaximusJohal]

i agree , well made video

[@kilty66]

Thanks for this. Worked like a charm. I thought the black was neutral like old style wiring and not second live. New fan works a treat now. All credit to you and your easy to follow guide. Thank again

[@yacinehachani9754]

Sometimes you can use the black as earth as well, if you find in the wire brown (L) grey (N) and the black then is for earthing, normally you can find that in the armed cables

[@AdamPatel-b3k]

Most clear video for this type of installation. As an apprentice i appreciate this so much god bless you

[@hubertmoron4220]

Lovely Polish accent. Dzięki za pomoc. Thanks for help.😎🇵🇱

[@sgtspite]

This is how all DIY should be explained.

[@maryedwards7263]

Brilliant explanation, thank you. It reassured me before replacing an existing fan with a new one

[@whomadethatsaltysoup]

Yes, very clear demonstration of how to fit a bathroom extractor. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@olawandeolatunji3240]

This is so loud & clear explanation. Thank you & God bless

[@taz421m]

Best explanation on KZbin. Well done. I'm installing a inline extractor with the help of this video

[@strongerandwiser2023]

The use of flat headed screws in this day and age still amazes me.

[@enensis]

Yeh does my nut in when people use them. My house is 200 yrs old and when refurbing every screw I found was a flat head made taking anything down a bloody nightmare 😂

[@blacknoire]

The're used in some places to prevent over tightening and splitting the plastic etc 🤷

[@williamgemmell1763]

Does it aye

[@DanDay123]

Absobloodylutely

[@dawidd8855]

That's because mains testing screwdrivers are flat, so it would be illogical to use a PZ1 or 2 😊 why carry 2 when you can carry 1

[@TheRobSeale]

Thank you so much for this, was extremley clear on what to do, was able to put in a fan and isolator switch without any troubles! And I didn't electrocute myself, so win win.

[@JK-ck5gg]

Good video. I would consider L1 as brown (switching line) and L2 as Black (permanent line) for the fan overrun after the bathroom light is switched off. Red yellow blue / brown black grey. Yellow was a permanent on lighting circuits back then. Grey as neutral theses days. I know the above are the new and old phase colours, and were on a single phase circuit in this video. It’s just an easy way to remember it.

[@ariftanoli9768]

You so clearly explain with good intentions. God bless you.

[@---wl3bi]

Good intentions? otherwise the cables go into some C4

[@martinsmith349]

Hi, great videos, thank you! One question, on my existing pull cord switch there are only two wires - live and switched live there is no neutral. Do I need to run a separate neutral cable from the pull cord box, having connected that to the extractor fan switch neutral wire and connect to the neutral wire at the light ? Thank you

[@chyhab5458]

please do more video like this one, very well explained and easy for any one to follow. thanks a lot.

[@gilbertlufc]

Thanks a ton for your videos my friend. They are really clear and don't cut any important corners and they make things easy for amateurs like me. Keep up the good work buddy.

[@MickJohal]

Excellent video. Straight to the point. Very talented.

[@Souperflysi]

Thank you. I’m installing one today. Step by step guide fantastic

[@paulsnowdon1930]

I missed a little of what you were saying because of the loud music during the installation. It would have been better either without the music or with subtitles! But I rewatched a few times and caught most of what you were saying in the end. Thanks for the video!

[@rkpatel100]

All your videos are TOP! Totally clear

[@johnhills6645]

Great video. Simple and easy to follow. Thank you

[@mohammadawan3777]

Brilliant video. Clear and concise. Thank you for sharing. Keep up with the wonderful work that you do.

[@westwonic]

Thanks so much. Saved me calling an electrician. All working ok. Mega!

[@michaeledwards3528]

Excellent video, thank you for taking the time and effort.

[@how2d223]

This video shows how to wire fan isolator to the pull cord switch where there is permanent live, switch live and neutral are at the switch. If you have all these 3 at the ceiling rose then you need to connect it there.

[@ktmidol]

hi what is the grey wire for never seen one before. Only one I know is brown, blue and earth (stripped). Thanks.

[@DerekHundik]

Jk957 in 3 cord wires cable there is no blue but black brown and grey. So black is Neutral ( blue sleeving ) brown is brown and grey is also live so you put brown sleeving over it.

[@sroz8573]

What if my light switch has only twin and earth ? (Live, neutral and earth)

[@logicallogic9960]

Fantastic video. So comprehensive and clearly explained.

[@christianokolo320]

Hi How2D2, Thank you for your very clear steps on how to wire the fan extractor with timer to pull cord light switch. The problem I have is that my pull cord light has just permanent live (L) and Neutral (N) wires. On the pull cord switch, the L wire is connected to the COM point while the N wire is connected to the L2 point to switch on the light. There is no other wires going from this bathroom light point to any other light point (i.e. the bathroom light pull cord switch is an end point). So, in this situation how do I create a switched live wire at the bathroom pull cord switch that I will connect to the switched live terminal of the timer fan extractor (or isolator). For example, I connected the switched live wire of the fan extractor to the L1 point on the bathroom light pull cord switch but the fan extractor did not work (instead it dimmed the light). Please help.

[@themagpie_1]

you should use the Wago 221 sir, they are much smaller than the chunky 222. and they are clear so you can visibly check the ferrel.

[@JohnJohnWe]

This is a good video. I do have one question regarding the fan isolator:- With the fan isolator mode set, can one use the bathroom light without the fan coming on? This might seem a daft question, but I don't recall seeing the bathroom light bulb in your schematic. I normally have a wash from a hand basin and only occasionally shower. Thus I would leave the fan isolated until I wanted to shower.

[@panltic]

I'm glad you left the bit in when the earth sleeving fell at the switch.. too many times!

[@glidb4]

Perfect. All the information that I needed. Thanks

[@DanstheEngineer]

Good video for beginners to understand. Would be great to see some explanations about where isolators and fans can be located!

[@madalincontu1639]

Hi Dans the Engineer. regarding the position of the isolator, according to BS7671, part 7 of the book, Special location, Section 701, every isolator switch need to be installed outside the premise. hope this is helpful. Cheers

[@patricklavery5144]

great explanation without the usual fluff

[@Jeff-gw1dv]

Brilliant video best on KZbin for sure. Well done and thanks so much for posting. Am doing this job on my en-suite .

[@rogerlatham195]

Would you have to have the bathroom light on for the fan to work

[@AviKhali]

Such a simple vid but explains what you need to know clearly

[@danielfortes1467]

good video . just one question what do you do if there is no neutral at the pull cord or switch

[@kengourlay3880]

Good question .Hope you get an answer.

[@chukidee6634]

Just install a PIR motion-sensor extractor fan. Also known as a room occupancy sensor. That being the PIR motion-sensor function is built into the fan itself thus requiring a simpler Live and Neutral feed.

[@stuartdalton5997]

Does the fan not need to be fed from a spur via 3 amp fuse.

[@sukhwindersingh-wm1hc]

Though this was what I was looking for but still HE I THOUGHT THAT HE WAS EXPLAINING EVERYTHING NICELY AND QUITE CLEARLY. GOOD ON YA. I WAS TRYING TO ASK WHETHER I CAN BRIDGE THE LIVE AND THE SWITCH LIVE ???. NO ONE HAS VIDEOD THAT I COULDN'T FIND??.

[@billybarton3258]

One of the easiest to follow videos I have one question i don't have a light switch I have a quinetec switch would the isolation wire run to the out side on the RF module thanks

[@robertbuilder8001]

I watch a lot of these videos and this one is excellent. Thank you very much !

[@plakumerre8514]

I don’t understand why in switching light are 3 cables. So 1 is 3 core and earth, second is feeding but the third what is?

[@adrianlala6593]

Hello there I have bought A bathroom fan with overrun timer after seeing your video is very complicated can I use my Fan with simple wiring connection

[@axxeman2002]

Very clear - better than the instructions that came with my Xpelair ...

[@dereksullivan9539]

A fantastically clear video and explanation

[@anwah100]

Very informative. No 3 amp fuse as required in the manufactures instructions {note 3 wiring instructions} no testing or certification as required by building control.

[@paulclark1342]

Cracking video mate. Nice clear simple instructions to follow👍👍

[@rob1835]

done exactly what you stated but fan did not switch on ? although there was power going to it, i tested with light up cable tester, i did notice my light pull cord only had red live wire, black wire with red tape , and an earth, no neutral wire through ceiling like you had ? any ideas how to get around this problem Sir ?, no ceiling pendant connectors to connect to in bathroom, junction box in loft is only a 3a box ,[where bathroom light circuit goes in, which has 4 lots of white cabling and 1 grey already going into it , liked your video though , any solutions please ?

[@CH-en4er]

great video thanks for posting. Can i ask ; How do we know L1 should be for switch live cable, And that L2 should be the permanent Live ?

[@PlymouthSparky]

Nice bit of how to work again, I love the wago connections they are real quick and easy.

[@negara54]

As you say, Wago connectors are brilliant. But be careful where you source them everybody. There are many fake versions which are dangerous. Getting them online is a rusk.

[@artemlobov3685]

@@negara54 I can't get them to work at college, I'm guessing not one size fits all

[@sukhwindersingh-wm1hc]

That was LOVELY THE WAY THE GENTLEMAN VIRTUALLY SIGHTED NONE STOP CONTINUOUSLY ??, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT COMPLETELY BUT NEVERTHELESS IT SOUNDED VERY ENERGETICALLY.

[@farukm7627]

Thank you. Brilliant. Fantastic demonstration.

[@oatcam9205]

Thank you. This really helped me and you explained so clearly.

[@adrianhaw4635]

Very detailed and concise explanation. Thank you

[@Mthmthmthmth6868]

If cpc not needed for fan , Can we use cpc to go the fan as L or LS ?

[@thomasmcclennon9738]

You show a very good demonstration and how it's done. Thank you.

[@assifkhan3803]

simple and straight forward.ive seen four utubs .this is to the point and starts and finish from the right places and each stage is simple and concise.i will use this video for my job today .thank you

[@paulmorris8898]

Hi ,best way to fit two extractor fans ? Thanks Paul

[@atari416]

Brother you doing great job, Plz keep updating and I fallow you and learn to money things, Thanks again

[@malcolmturton9779]

Explained very well thank you. However I only have 2 wires going into my light switch. could you advise me how I could fit a fan please.

[@rukshaz1]

Sometimes you have to get it from the light or there could be a junction box above have to investigate

[@afred0007]

Your information is very helpful and detailed. Thank you

[@brihaspati4517]

Hi... I tried connecting exactly how you mentioned however the fan won't start. Any idea what could be the problem?

[@stephennolan5776]

Do you have to have a switch isolater?

[@freebornjohn2687]

Great video, clear and to the point.

[@royalvalle634]

What if your existing fan is connected with 2core and earth to light with 2core and earth and only a pull light switch. Can you still wire a new isolation switch with 2core and earth or does it all have to have 3core and earth?

[@brucewayne7838]

hello i have just replaced a bathroom fan with one that is pull cord and only and has a live and neutral connection. i have brown , black and grey wires. i have connected the brown to the live and the grey to neutral but the fan does not work ? i am wondering if the fan is faulty . i have not checked the wiring with a circuit tester but it was working before i removed the old fan ! do you have any suggestions please?

[@christophergarrett8455]

I don’t have a neutral inside the pull cord.Does this mean I have run a 3 core cable from the light to the switch,removing the two wires already there.Or do I not run the wires to the switch but to the ceiling rose to connect a neutral

[@padymac1]

Excellent video mate

[@karlnoonan5597]

Excellent video. Very clear, thank you.

[@markalmeida6996]

Thank you excellent video simplicity at its best!!!

[@cygnus108]

Excellent explanation and demonstration.....thank you

[@TheBluemoon276]

Excellent, very well explained

[@mikesim5453]

You haven't incorporated a fuse (usually 3amp) on your live & switched live feeds as required by most manufacturers.

[@Aylaun84]

Hi does inline fan have same setup?

[@richierich4175]

In all the pull cords I've fitted. There's no neutral supply. Meaning you would have to connect the supply from the ceiling rose

[@cheznrich]

Great video had a look at mine as looks like they have taken a live from the switched live at the pull switch, looks there ls no neutral at pull switch and they have taken neutral from light fitting, wud it be on to leave neutral to come from light fitting and take switch live and perm live from pull switch if that makes any sense ?

[@core-element]

This means u only have a switch wire going to the light switch. your loop (live n neutral) is going thru the rose, take all 3 connections from the rose, forget the light switch if the loop does not go thru it.

[@jmurtjmurt7789]

If wiring to a quinetic switch how would it work from the fan isolator ?

[@passionate3249]

Very well explained from some other videos I have watch

[@passionate3249]

Thanks very much for taking your time in explaining and the little diagram

[@hafmaint7557]

Thank you very much ! Cracking video mate.

[@mudassarsardar2132]

Hi there any ideas how too test what is faulty tested and there is power 230 volts at the live and netrual and also switched live when light is on but the fan doesn't operate it operated briefly I thought a wire was lose so tighten it and it's stopped working after that completely but there is still power there

[@JohnnysDazzlingPants]

thanks for this. Very informative and clear!

[@randomgaming5332]

brah I only have positive and negative wire from the switch, is the neutral wire a must for the fan with humidity sensor?

[@rickhiggs9439]

Thank you for your videos. Can you wire a shaver socket from an extractor fan?

[@PrzezSwiatWJaponkach]

W jakim celu jest ten izolator ogólnie??? Czy nie można bezpośrednio połączyć to ze światłem???

[@Awableyou]

great just done ours very clear and very easy to follow

[@marksimper]

how does the fan get a neutral?? i can only see that it is connected at the isolator and the fan , where would it be connected to the house neutra??

[@anniegadsby7076]

straight to the point, great video

[@brackenbrae6873]

How about a dual switch wiring for when you want to cut the run on (for example at night, when you don't want the fan on, but light on)? How about a triple switch wiring for when you want just the fan on, continually, with no light?

[@TheSlarge]

Excellent, thank you. Keep them coming!

[@stevenpeasey4903]

Great guide but I have a problem,I have wired into a pull cord switch as in video but have only 3 wires there originally earth- live-negative I have no power at isolater switch? Any ideals

[@patricksslkpatricksslk2624]

Can we see how you connect the pull light switch to a junction box.

[@drkhalidmahmood6451]

Excellent demonstration, superb

[@shaders66]

Do I need to add a low voltage transformer to the fan?

[@andyr4735]

My ones stopped working which is one issue but my question is where does the extracted damp air go? I believe mine just gets dumped in the attic as I cant see any ducting in the attic or any vents on external walls. Is that a problem

[@alanmorris9425]

Extremely good and clear set of instructions

[@estudiocec]

Excellent!! I have a question, my light is not turning on, but was before. I've tried changing the bulb with a tested working one, but still no good. The house must be 10 years old, and the cables seem ok and well fitted around the lamp...Should I check the pull cord switch/isolator? Thanks in advance!

[@sankeyable]

Light a candle mate 👍

[@justev8288]

Very clear video - even I understood.

[@ninjam6808]

What if I want use the fun without light but just with a switch?

[@pachma405]

Brilliant. I've got the same fan. Thanks.
