Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread and to SimonH2 for his v helpful explanation of why I need a by-pass valve. I will remove the TRV in the hall and see how it goes. If domestic strife continues I will have a go at mounting a wireless stat receiver next to my programmer in the...

Just returned from hols and caught up with the discussion. When I left on hols the temp was 14 degrees. Today it's 32! SWMBO has finally stopped complaining about being too cold and discussion about TRVs and room stats now seems somehow irrelevant - Im tempted to start a new one on the merits...

OK I've taken a look at the wiring set up in my existing controls. The room stat ( Drayton Digistat 30002) is situated in the downstairs hall and has a single 4 core wire input - Red,Blue, Yellow and Earth. Upstairs in the airing cupboard is a 7 day HW/CH programmer ( Drayton LP522)...

Thanks. I'll check out the wiring tonight and let you know. Thanks for the advice on this issue so far which has been really helpful.[/b]

Thanks doitall. Yes, the bypass valve is on the heating side only. Therefore, I will consider, as you suggest, installing a wireless room sat in the lounge although I understand this may need need some wiring adjustments at the boiler or at the programmer to get it to work. Any suggestions...

OK. Here goes.... I have a 4 bed house, kids have recently left home (so 3 bedrooms are rarely used) , and a wife who always wants to turn up the heat in the lounge in the evening! So I decided to convert my CH system by installing TRVs on all my rads and thereby let my wife turn up the heat...

Gosh I'm beginning to wonder whether it was worth fitting the TRVs in the first place! The room stat is currently situated in the hall and is hard wired to the programmer in the upstairs airing cupboard and a conventional wall hung Valliant boiler in the garage. Shouldn't I just disconnect...

Thanks for all the advice. It seems The cheapest, and possibly the easiest, way ahead is to set the room thermostat a couple of degrees higher than the TRV in the same room and if I find the boiler is shutting off prematurely ( i.e. before the other rooms have reached their desired temp) I can...

Ive recently replaced all my radiator valves with TRVs and installed an automatic by-pass valve in my airing cupboard. My plumber has told me I needn't remove the old room thermostat (mounted in the hall) but merely set it to maximum so that it doesnt override the TRVs - including the one in...
