Is this taped wire attached to bolier dangerous?

[AnaSue]

Hi,

My boiler (Valliant - ecoTEC pro. gas fired hung high efficiency boiler) was replaced approximately 4 weeks ago with a brand new make and model.

However, after the replacement i noticed that a white wire connecting from the bottom of the boiler has blue tape wrapped around it. it's as if the wire is damaged and the plumber taped over the damage?

I have no idea why the tape is there i'm hoping that whatever runs through the wire isn't dangerous as if it is, it will leak

i'd be grateful for some advice on this please, i hope i'm worrying for nothing.

thanks in advance

do you know what the wire is or where it goes ?

nice nails btw

 

[AnaSue]

Thanks for the reply. Glad you like my nails, i thought they'd brighten up the boring wire picture!

It comes from bottom of boiler and goes down under carpet into floor. Other than that, I'm not sure where it continues to I'm afraid.

It's a bodge get it done properly.

it could be the wire for the room stat, but what ever it is that is a rough job & i would be getting the installer back to do the job properly, that is just not acceptable

Thanks guys for your help. I'll make a complaint and get it dealt with.

I can't believe the plumber felt it was suitable to do a sloppy bolier fit. crazy

Some of them are like that, he says, getting ready to dodge the flak.

You'd be best getting an electrician to sort the wiring out for you. Plumbers are notorious for botching wiring.

Joke right, last person to get to do your wiring for a heating system is a sparky.

You keep on trotting this out time and time again, but it's nothing but lies.

Yes there are some 'electricians' that can't wire heating systems, but then again there's some that can barely wire a socket.

A proper electrician will be able to wire heating with his eyes shut. There's nothing difficult about it at all.

I have lost count of the number of botched, dangerous electrical installs carried out by plumbers which I've had to put right.

adamsheating I see you're from Leeds, the same as I am. Name the time and place and I'll come and do you a Y plan with pleasure.

I am from Leeds indeed! First yplan free? I've got part p so I an do it myself, but then again, what does that even mean!

You're point is a good one, but its like anything isn't it. Some plumbers can plumb, but that's life. That wiring in the ops picture is just appalling and no self respected gas engineer worth his salt would leave it like that.

Bodge it and scarper.

Lost count of the time's I have sorted out sparkys mess on Y plans.

Maybe they were just chancers like whoever did the OPs job.

I wire heating systems day in day out for a local plumber. There's nothing difficult about it especially your bog standard S and Y plans.

Hey adam, I don't remeber offering it for free
