    Hello I have the Honeywell wireless thermostat with this receiver. Please see image below of the wires going into the Honeywell receiver. Can anyone confirm where I connect the cables on the Honeywell into the Nest Heat Link? I can see that I only have a connection at terminals A and B...

    How many radiators can the Valiant 428kw run?

    My apologies, I have just been and checked and the Flow/Returns to and from the 428 and cylinders are 28mm. I trust thats okay? I am not sure about the bypass? What am I looking for there?

    Replacing plastic edge trim

    Yeah I think I will just leave it as I don't have any spare tiles. Thanks for the reply!

    Replacing plastic edge trim

    Hello I have some plastic homelux edge trim and I would like to replace it with stainless metal trim or similar. Is this possible without removing the tiles? Has anyone done it? My thinking was to try and pull the old stuff out, but not sure if its worth it or not! Advice from anyone...

    How many radiators can the Valiant 428kw run?

    Perfect, thank you! The stuff they used is really rather thin - probably 9mm, so I will definitely replace it with the thickest I can.

    Do you mean the pump, Dan? Do you know what the next one up would be?

    How many radiators can the Valiant 428kw run?

    The pump is a Grundfos Red Type UPS 15-60 130 p/n: 96281478 and it is set to level 3, maximum. Does that sound like an appropriate pump? It has to pump approximately 8 metres up from the cellar to the top room.

    How many radiators can the Valiant 428kw run?

    I do notice that the cellar is warm - the fitters definitely lagged the pipes but I am sure it is not good stuff! What thickness is the Climaflex Water Regulations grade? I see various thicknesses: 9, 13, 19 & 25mm - should I be using 25mm in the cellar? Unfortunately, they definitely...

    How many radiators can the Valiant 428kw run?

    Both cylinders are actually heated at the same time - they are connected together to make a total of 290l hot water, they don't supply a different zone, but they each have their own motorised valve. My boiler does enter anti-cycling mode when heating the hot water, I wonder if that is why. I...

    How many radiators can the Valiant 428kw run?

    Okay all is good rad wise - with the new radiators for the new loft conversion, we are still within 19k. The pipe runs on the system are huge, though, so I am sure that 10k will get sapped up by the long pipe runs between the boiler and the cylinders. The boiler is in the kitchen and...

    How many radiators can the Valiant 428kw run?

    As well as the rads, you may need to take into account the Hot water cylinder. If it's an old one, it will only use about 2kW. But if it's a modern rapid recovery, it can use 20kW. However that does not mean you have to add 20kW to the rad total to get the required boiler size. All you do is set...

    How many radiators can the Valiant 428kw run?

    Ah okay, thanks! I will go and check the Btus for the existing rads. The boiler is 28kw, so assuming that the radiator BTU's are less than 28kw (when converted to BTU) it will be okay? Is there anything else to consider? Will I need to increase the size of the expansion vessel? The expansion...
