I've got to install a bath fan in my kids' bathroom. Since they are now into taking very long, hot showers, and based on attic access, I'm planning to install the fan above the tub/shower. The fan is suitable for this when installed on a GFCI circuit.
I'm thinking of using the same GFCI circuit which powers the outlet for the vanity across the bathroom, but I'd like to have the fan switch in the same box as the switch for the vanity light next to the bathroom door, which is on a separate (non-GFCI) circuit.
Does having two separate switches powered by separate circuits conform to code? If not, I suppose I can install a separate box for the fan switch. Or, is there such a thing as a switch with integral GFCI protection, in other words, a switch and GFCI in one single-gang device?
Thanks, in advance, for your knowledge.
