bathroom wall mounted fan heaters....

Ah that reminds me, the borked old one is mounted approx waist high on a wall opposite from the washbasin, I suspect it will be in Zone 3 (as more than 600mm away but less than 2.4m)

This seems to narrow the candidates further as e.g. Dimplex and other *bathroom* fan heaters say "pullcord operation" and installation instructions have a minimum height from floor figure 1800mm specified (and 600mm from any shelf).

I am obviously not wanting to do a dodgy replacement install here.... have the regs (and so available products) changed in these regards since the er 1970s/1980s? Is this why I can't find any fan heater units comparable to the old one?

What sort of fan heater can I put in Zone 3 "officially"?

TIA

I knew someone who once left an iron on... for two weeks whilst he went on holiday!

East End gangs in the 60s sometimes used a hot iron on people who had displeased them so perhaps someone had really, really pissed him off.

In recent models the pull-cord attaches to a plastic see-saw lever whose other end presses against the microswitch. The lever is not strong enough to survive someone (old/deaf/female) pulling the cord hard, but paying no attention to either the 'feel' of the switch operating, or the click as it operates.

I did manage to find new see-saw levers from a spares place.

+1. And the countdown timer is useful for getting rid of condensation after a bath or shower. Means you don't forget to turn it off.
