Hi there,
I am having trouble locating a fan isolator pull switch(3-pole). It needs to be in the style of brushed chrome, nickel or stainless steel. Any ideas?

Thanks in anticipation.
Dave.

In these situations I always find that getting the wholesaler to source it for me is so much easier, it's what they're there for!
you must have some amazing wholesalers up by you, I find getting them to go look in the stockroom properly is asking too much w
ith half the ones here, wanting them to research a obscure product would get the same reaction as asking if their sisters put out in a first date i reckon.

As for OP I wouldnt hold my breath, PC fan iso's a novelty item as it is. maybe drill a hole in the middle of a steel blank plate and fit it over a plastic unit?
 
Ive trimmed a plastic accessory to fit behind a 50x50 euro module plate once to match the rooms chrome plates, was a single switch sized custom gas fire controller
 
I think the majority of 3 pole pull cords will be standard white. I think I have seen a polished chrome one but not anything in brushed.
Perhaps looking in bespoke electrical accessories websites might find you something, but generally the range of pull cords is very small no matter what type you want.

Nothing special about the wholesalers here, it's just a matter of developing a good working relationship and buying them plenty of beer at Christmas time.
 
I really don't understand why some people want to draw attention to pull switches by having chrome ones! White ones are much better. Daz
 
fit a pull isolator. spray with zinc coat. obviously mask as required.
