I wont be using a non competent installer so that's not an issue. He has the internet and may even be willing to assist with the work if it fits in with his leave etc. I think some of you gents are looking at this too deep I don't want a full design. Just suggestion like its normally done...

Gas cooker Oil fired central heating so no shower load. This is one of the things I’m thinking about when asking the questions. Forgetting building regs for a minute. I could design for two sockets and one light but anyone with any sense would say that’s not practical, as soon as someone...

Sorry to be misleading I did mean MCB I do know the difference between an MCB, RCD and RCBO etc. As I had made a mistake I don't blame you for your scepticism. I can and have looked up the cable size in the regs and looked up if I should have and RCD at my end and in the consumer unit at the...

Sorry if this topic is covered elsewhere I couldn't find something quite the same. My question if you don't mind is :- I'm converting part of my attached garage to living accommodation for my parents. They will in effect have a two bedroom flat attached to my house. I'm hoping to supply...

Thanks for all your help chaps. I did get to the bottom of it today and indeed it is a special 4044 namely the 4044F and as a couple of you stated it is a basic diverter with brown and blue going to the motor but has an added micro switch that connects the grey wire to the orange when the valve...

Sorry to bump an old thread but my confusions are still a plenty. The old boiler with my modified v4073 mid position valve has been working flawlessly since I put it in a couple of years ago as mentioned earlier in this thread. However last Sunday no heating as the boiler had tripped. On...

I've done a bit of research on here and this subject has come up a few times but not quite like this . I have a house (not unusual there) and a garage/workshop some 15m away. I have an RCD protecting the house circuits and the SWA cable feeding the garage /workshop and then another in the...

Is it didn't seem to work properly if I just connected the motor wires from the 4044 to the 4073 the circuit board didn't allow the valve to go fully accross.

I'm not doubting you but the motor power cables got fiddled with, with the circuit board and thus I thought I would also need to by pass this and connect straight to the motor. The feed back signal I replicated but don't really know what would happen if it was made all the time.

As a newbie I'm hoping to add something here which may help people but also willing for someone to tell me I've done it all wrong. I've got a Worcester heat slave which just before xmas decided to heat the rads independent of my commands (controller settings). An obvious diverter valve problem...
