Ok sorted it, Tool Station gave me a faulty valve, on inspection it had obviously been a return that some clever sod had removed the original head and put their faulty one in, Ahhhhhh!!!! Needless to say the programmers going back as well hope their rep doesn't give me a hard time because I'm...

Y plan heating, only getting 140 volts on orange wire when in heating mode only , already changed pump , stat ,valve and programmer . Hot water side works fine. got 240v on white when in heating mode . Before i change the valve again could it be owt else. thanks for reading .

so what i have got from this thread is you cannot use plastic fittings within a metre because if there is a double fault, i.e., the over heat stat and the pressure relief valve both fail the plastic fittings will fail due to the heat and the pressure. LOL, so you guys would rather have the...

Hi, push fits on boiler, can jg push fittings be used on central heating systems and boilers? Is there any regulations saying they cannot?

Thats great Picasso. LOL, you have saved me from a restless night. Would have been handy if they had said that in the manual. Big thanks.

Hi Picasso, not come across that before , so do the orange switch lives and the Rt connection connect into terminal 10 . . Cheers

LOL, you just told me sommat I already knew, what i would like to know is how it connects into the s plan wiring system. Normally the room stat would be connected to the zone valve. cheers

Me too but there you have it., guess he hasn't come across this configuration before. But i guess from your reply you are going to explain it to me , unless you dont know either LOL

No Chris, im a sparky working with a gas safe engineer.

Hi , got a glowworm 3 25r boiler on a S plan system, Im confused what wires go where. The programmer is a Honey well ST699. It asks in the boiler manual for a common electric supply for the boiler and for the corresponding controller. There are two mains wiring connection points in the...

Thanks for the replies , its great to see how we all interpret the regs. I was thinking along the lines of chapter 13. The fundamental principles, As we know the regs aren’t set in stone so as long as an installation complies with the fundamentals of the regs then it should be allowable. I...

Hi is it necessary to have a cpc on a lighting circuit when all fittings and switches are non conductive and the final circuits are RCBO protected. Its an older installation fitted when regs were different. Just wondered if they had changed. An 18th edition reference would be handy . Thanks for...

Hi, I wonder if you could give me a straight answer to this question. I have searched hi and low but seem to only find opinions. I have been offered a heat only boiler that is 8 months old. The reason for sale is that the owners have decided to change the system to a combi for some reason. Is it...

Thanks echoes, Spot on. the siphon on one of the loos was passing .
