Looking at the manual for the boiler, it needs to be protected by a 5A fuse. Will this cause any issue?

If there is no pipe directly to the cyclinder - as mentioned before - is it impossible to do the dual channel hot water heating you mentioned previously. As obviously that would be better :/ If not - what way should the single channel be wired

"Presently, provided that it's safe to try, do the boiler and pump work when plugged in to the mains?" Yes

Afaik the heating previously - when the thermostat in the hall reached the desired temp it switch everything off (the boiler went off) The plumber did say when moving to the garage we could get another pipe added to the system directly to the hot water cyclinder to allow us to heat water...

For info - the only way to heat hot water before was immersion heater or having the full heating on. We have a cold water tank in the attic - so does that mean it is gravity circulation?

Thank you so much - if it is heated by gravity do I need a single-channel hive? Also - can I just ask - if I can't heat rads/water separately, how come I need a dual-channel? (is it just to wire the boiler and pump in separately)

Thanks for the replies - the expansion tank, pump and oil line needs plumbed in. No motorised valves - the boiler just heats up rads and hot water tank (in hot press) we just had a timer clock and thermostat in our hall before. All that has been disconnected but I think it basically just turned...

Hi, I have moved my oil boiler out to the garage and removed the old thermostat and timer in the house completely. I have electric in the garage but not sure how to connect hive mini thermostat to the boiler. Currently there is a socket for boiler and separate socket for pump - any help...
