The switched connection unit for the kitchen extractor fan and the lower part of fan is now behind a larger fridge, so the fan can't be operated without climbing onto a worktop.
I would like to replace the fan with a Manrose LP150STC, which has terminals for a switch on the live line, and bring the switch wires out of the front grille of the fan housing and connect them directly to a covered 2A side action pull switch fixed to the tiling. The pull cord can then be operated by threading the cord through a small eyebolt on the wall next to the fridge.
I couldn't find a similar 5A switch, so I would also replace the 3A fuse in the connection unit with 1A as the fan only draws about 0.1A .
Can anyone tell me whether the wiring regs would have any objection?
