    Hive Dual Channel Controller Wiring Question

    Thanks Stem for your input. I've decided to leave it intact, should we move house I will that way keep the opportunity to restore it to the old system and remove the Hive if the potential purchaser prefers..

    Hive Dual Channel Controller Wiring Question

    Thanks for your reply Stem, much appreciated. The system is fully pumped, motorised valves etc. With regard to the existing thermostat, image attached, if I just disconnect the red wire and blank it off will that disable it safely or do you have a better suggestion?

    Connecting an outside tap.

    Am I right in thinking then that a push fit elbow works just the same on 15 mm copper as it does on 15 mm plastic? If so problem solved.

    Connecting an outside tap.

    Terry, thanks for your reply. You say connect a 15mm elbow pointing down to the 15mm plastic pipe coming out of the wall, would be a plastic elbow or a brass compression type or some other type of fitment?

My new tap has the same inlet connection but...
