Thanks gregers but the spindle and handle are new. A split spindle has a hole in one half and a "lug/pin" which fits in the other half, so that both in and out door handles can operate independently. I don't think there is a grub/allen key

I've just replaced my uvpc front door handle as it was "wobbly". The new handle came with 2 spindles, one solid and one split. I took the easy way out and fitted the solid spindle, only to discover a few weeks later that the door could be opened from the outside!! Now having cut the split...

Gave my bloke your diagram and he's changed the wires accordingly. Fingers crossed! My house don't get that cold at night (no colder than anyone else, I guess), but I will do the metre readings as you suggested. Thanks for your help D_Hailsham and everyone else.

I keep the heating set at 15C at night because I was told that it was cheaper than having it timed to come on and off. If thats not correct, I will set it to come on and off. i'm just watching my pennies. Thanks for the diagram, I will show it to my bloke and if he can't follow it then I'll...

A quick post as my fitter is coming 2nite. I think i understand what u r saying. My hot water is obviously off at night, but my heating is left on, with my room stat set at 15C. I think all that is required is to keep my pipes from freezing in the loft. I think the frost stat keeps the...

Thanks for everyones help. I must confess, it is a little confusing, but I am I right in saying that if the stat is wired to the orange wire, this will just heat the pipes to stop them freezing and my rads won't come on.

D_Hailsham. Thanks for your reply. I know nothing about this and neither does the bloke that I have paid £90 to come round and fit my pipe stat!! He came back 2nite and checked his wiring. The Honeywell help-line said he should have connected to the yellow wire, but there isn't a yellow...

swbjackson, thanks for your reply. I have looked at the wiring guide p28 as you suggested, but I can't see where it say's to set the pipe stat to 10C. I will try it. But what about my heating coming on at the same time as my hot water, even though the heating isn't programmed to come on. I...

Posted in Jan, as heating kept coming on in the night. Boiler in loft with a frost stat, set at 5C. I had a pipe stat fitted a week ago, set at 25C. My heating still comes on in the night, I think for about 15mins, but can't be sure as I'm half asleep. I do know that all my rads heat up...

Thanks AlanE. Thought that might be the case. Does anyone know if it's a simple and cheap job to install a pipe stat. Still, I guess whatever the price I should be able to recoup it, by paying less gas. Thanks

Had a new boiler installed just over 3 years ago in the loft, with a Honeywell frost stat next to it. I have only noticed in the last month that the boiler is firing-up in the middle of the night. The frost stat is set at 3 degrees and I guessing that the temperature in my loft has fallen...
