bathroom fan

05/04/2008 07:31 PM lampskin

I never resolved my plumbing being live...

What I did was swap my taps with plastic ones so they don't shock me. I also fixed a leaky pipe behind my shower wall.

My electric taps problem seems to have improved anyways...

Actually I didn't run the fan circuit from my bathroom circuit. The junction box in my bathroom had a power outlet in it and also a switch for the bathroom light. The power outlet already had wires going to all 4 terminals, so I didn't use that receptacle to run the power.

I ran a cable from my computer room receptacle(on the other side of the wall from the bathroom)to a junction box in my bathroom. The computer room receptacle box has 1 terminal free for the white wire and 1 free for the black wire.

In the junction box in the bathroom that i installed, there's a switch which controls the fan.

Yes, I installed a GFCI in the bathroom as well. It works fine(when it trips, the lights in the bathroom go out).

Actually it's an analog multimeter...it's kinda hard to read actually, but i'm sure it reads at least 130 from the wall outlet.

I have breakers at the box.

I haven't metered the incoming service...

thanks for the response...
