I've just bought a house with an ancient (circa 30 years), but excellent heating system. It has a Ti Radiation Fuelsaver boiler, programmer, a 2 port valve, pump, but no stats whatsoever.
The house move broke me financially, and I have just had a huge gas bill for this highly inefficient system. I can't afford to change much, but I want to add a room stat.
I can put the hot water on, on its own , but if the heating is on, I have to have the hot water on too. The 2 port valve controls the heating, there are no valves controlling the hot water.
Can I wire the wireless stat receiver so that it switches the live feed to the 2 port valve. This way, if the heating is on (and the hot water also has to be on so the heating operates), the room stat will open and close the 2 port valve according to heating demand.
Is it OK for a 2 port valve to be opening and closing as the room stat calls for heat or stops calling? Or will a lot of use wear it out quickly?
