Can I use fan speed control for my cieling fan??

I have a Leviton RTF01-10 single pole fan speed control. Can I use this to control my fan speed? My fan already has a 'pull chain' on it. Was wondering if I can just set it to 'fast' and then use the switch control on the wall to control its speed?

You should be able to so long as you leave the pull-chain switch on 'high' or 'fast.' Is there only one switch location and no light on the fan?

Electrical "sort of" question

I'm remodeling my shower and today removed the fiberglass shower surround. On the other side of the back wall of the shower is a bedroom, and when the fiberglass back wall was removed I observed the rear of the outlet for that bedroom wall. I'm just concerned that this is a shower wall and even though I will be using cement board and water proofing materials, I just want to know if this is something normal to see? Is it ok that the outlet is in that location? Thanks CharlieRead More

Turning two separate switches in to one switch

In my house under one wall plate, I have three switches. One switch is a part of a three way switch for a hall light. Two switches control two different sets of lights outside my house. I bought one timer switch. I'd like that one timer switch to control both sets of outside lights. I took off the wall plate and found this (Switches A and B): [ATTACH]18813[/ATTACH] (Switches B and C): [ATTACH]18814[/ATTACH] Switch A is a 3 way switch that controls the hall light. Switches B and C control the outside lights. Note that the black wire attaching all three switches at the bottom is just one long black wire stripped to connect the three switches together. What is the proper way to wire this? The two switches on the right need to be controlled off of one timer switch. I know one switch will end up doing nothing in the end, and I'm OK with that.Read More
