Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this switch suitable for bathroom extractor fans?

Yes, it is designed for this specific purpose and features a protective gasket to help mitigate the effects of humidity.

Does this switch come with a back box?

No, it is designed to fit standard UK electrical back boxes, which must be purchased separately if not already present in the wall.

Is the finish fingerprint resistant?

While the metal surface is high-quality, it may show fingerprints over time. A simple wipe with a dry microfiber cloth will restore the finish.

What is the amperage rating?

This is a 10-amp switch, which is standard and sufficient for most domestic extractor fan installations.

Can I use this for lighting?

While it can function as a switch, its primary design and testing are as an isolator for ventilation systems; it is recommended to use it for its intended purpose.

Why is it triple pole?

A triple pole switch disconnects the live, neutral, and switched live connections, providing maximum safety during maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Switch rocker feels stiff or stuck

Ensure the switch is not pulled too tightly against an uneven wall surface, which can cause the faceplate to warp slightly.

Fan does not activate when switch is turned on

Verify that all wires are securely fastened to the terminal blocks and that the supply at the fuse board is active.

Visible tarnishing or water spots

Ensure the pre-fitted clear gasket is properly seated between the switch and the wall surface to prevent moisture ingress.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable metal construction
  • Stylish slimline aesthetic
  • Complete isolation with triple pole design
  • Protective gasket prevents tarnish
  • High compliance with industry safety standards

Cons

  • Requires careful installation to avoid surface marks
  • Metal plate requires careful handling
  • Not suitable for outdoor exposed locations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current IET wiring regulations. Before starting, ensure the mains power is isolated at the consumer unit. The switch fits standard UK back boxes. When installing, leave the protective film in place until all decorating is complete to prevent paint splatter or scratches. To maintain the finish, clean the switch periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners, as these can strip the protective finish or damage the metal surface.
