Hi There, I have wired the thermostat up and all appears to work, i.e. there is a call for heat if the thermostat is turned up past 20 degrees. However, the neon on the front panel of the T6360 stays lit all the time, even though I understand it is only supposed to be lit when there's a call...

Hi Davy, Thanks for explaining that, it makes sense now. :) However, when you say about the ring being connected in such a way that the current draw could come from either side, I assume this wouldn't apply when using a spur as the spur has one length of cable feeding it that doesn't go...

HeeHee, a valuable lesson learnt there then eh Tony? :) I have always had a fascination for taking things apart to see how they work, and remember a few 'hidings' that I got from my dad when I was younger for doing so! The irony is that now he calls me round to pepair things for him! I said...

Thanks Baxpoti, I was actually looking for an exploded view of the 3 way valve assembly, and it doesn't go into that much detail on the parts arena website. I assume that such a diagram must exist somewhere though. Anyone any ideas?? Thanks, Electronman.

Hi Baxpoti, I removed the old diverter valve manifold at the weekend and fitted the new one. However, when turning water valves back on, there was a drip coming from where the heat flow pipe connects to the manifold, even though I fitted a new 3/4 fibre washer. I did carefully remove the...

Hi Baxpoti, I know what the isolation taps are for. What confused me slightly was talk of needing to add inhibitor to the system when refilling, as I assumed this wouldn't be required if just draining the boiler alone and not the entire CH system. I suppose my question should have been...

Will no one confirm for me whether I can isolate and drain just the boiler, in order to preserve the inhibitor that's already in the system? Since I only had the inhibitor added in September of last year it would be silly to drain the whole system unless absolutely necessary. I would...

No one??

Poxi, no need for that response. :o The thing is that I seem to be getting contradicting information from people, i.e. some say just turn off iso valves to boiler, drain using drain point on side of boiler, fit new manifold, refill system to around 1bar and then switch boiler on. Others...

Could I shut the radiator valves off prior to draining system in order to minimise loss of inhibitor that's already in the system? Of course, I would make a not of the existing valve settings to ensure that correct balance of the system is maintained. Is this feasible, or would the entire...

I've just seen that plumbworld so a tube of it for 20 quid, so will order myself some. Would it matter if the Sentinel inhibitor was added to a system where some other type of inhibitor may have been used before, such as Fernox perhaps? Just wondered whether it was ok to mix with a different...

Thanks Baxpoti, I can be very persistant at times! :wink:

Hi again, If the primary circuit is drained down, is there any need to power flush/add inhibitor to the system when repressurising? Thanks, Rob.

Hi Chris, Many thanks for that. I agree that the term 'primary' is a touch on the ambiguous side, but thanks for clarifying for me. I have the service manual for the boiler thanks. Also, I was thinking of reconditioning Baxi PCB's as a sideline, using the correct components of course, and...

Baxpoti, as I understand it I need to turn off the water supply to the boiler via the isolation valve and then drain via the drain point to the righthandside of the boiler? I would also turn on any sink taps to drain any surplus water from the sanitary side of the system. Also, I assume that...
