How can I control temperature of bathroom.

[thyristor44]

Hello
How can I cheaply fit a room stat (no wireless or programed) in a bathroom where all is in zone 1.
I dont want to use a rad valve as the radiator is used as a dump for the rest of the system and it can be used on its own.
Any ideas.
Thanks

What do you think the stat will control?

 

[thyristor44]

The boiler

So when the bathroom reaches temp the whole house heating goes off is that what you really want to achieve.

maybe they live in the bathroom
plus the whole of the bathroom isn't zone 1

No the bathroom thermostat just doesnt call on the boiler for heat. The house heating and the hot water can each independently call for heat through valves and timers. The bathroom is the same and has a valve and timer.

How do you intend to heat this rad if it doesn't call on the boiler for heat

Interestinger and interestinger, A heat dump and behind a valve and timer that lets it work on its own.
Sorry mate but, I think your words are good words its just that they have got jumbled up.

 

[thyristor44]

Yes I do often jumble my words.
No valve on the bathroom rad just a timer
The main heating and the HW are both behind valves. If they are both closed then the bathroom rad can call on the boiler for heat. It has its own timer.
Any call for heat from CH or HW will also heat bathroom rad and it can call for heat on its own. I just need a thermostat to control this in a bathroom.

If you have a timer on the rad, what does it control? It must be connected to something or it would be pointless!

Timer is not on rad. Timer controls when the rad can take heat i.e. when the boiler is to be on.

Seriously mate I suggest you read over what you have put and read the replies, I am not here to mock you as you haven't got a good understanding of how a heating system works.
Have a good read through some threads on here and some FAQ's there is a lot of free advice on here that is worth it's weight in gold and is a very interesting read.

No mickyg I have got to admit defeat and stop but thanks all for your attempts.
