What you mean like the popular Worcester Bosch and Remeha?Is this "THEY" the boiler manufacturer? If so, I have to say that (although, admittedly, I've not seen a lot) I've never seen a boiler which comes with a 'fitted flex'.
Kind Regards, John
As has been said, most don't fit a flex. That you have knowledge of one that does is irrelevant to the arguments for all the others.Except THEY know the size of the bit of flex THEY fit to THEIR boiler.
They do, is it different than they fit for the rest of the world? That is, do they purposely fit smaller ones for Britain?And the valve manufacturer knows what size cable THEY fit to THEIR devices.
You'd think they would want to ensure their products were adequately protected by not omitting the protection you think they fit for elsewher.So THEY then create a MI stipulating a 3A fuse to ensure THEIR products are adequately protected.

Do we know how different and in what way.Worcester Bosch say the boilers they manufacture for markets outside the UK are not the same as those for this market.
I think we have determined that that is the case, and also that the gas regulations themselves do not mandate a 3A fuse, so we are back to square one.Gas Safe say that it is written into the gas regs that manufacturer's instructions MUST be followed.
They might be different in some respects (although it's hard to imagine which respects!) but can you really believe that they deliberately manufacture "less safe" ones for the UK market, such that 3A fuse protection is required for them, but not required for their 'safer' non-UK version ??Worcester Bosch say the boilers they manufacture for markets outside the UK are not the same as those for this market.
If you bought an inspection lamp with a 60W lamp and the manufacture called for a 3A fuse - only in Britain - would you think that this was important?
Would you think that they had thought it through and considered that to be the only safe way of using the lamp - when in Britain?
Clearly the blown bulb would go out, exactly the same as with a 5 a fuse. There are many such examples such as the millions of pendants in use without individual fusing.What would have happened without the 3A or 5A fuse?
It might have been that a prolonged plasma arc was created when the filament vaporised and this arc existed long enough to melt or burst the glass envelope.What would have happened without the 3A or 5A fuse?
Whereupon the fault would have been cleared?It might have been that a prolonged plasma arc was created when the filament vaporised and this arc existed long enough to melt or burst the glass envelope.
