picture is a bt misleading sorry. Brown joins brown, Blue joins blue and the yellow/green terminates into the plate. its the thin cable i wondered about as this joins the black and carries through into the heater itself. i will disconnect at terminal block. not sure where the thin wire...

with the old heater, it connects into the circuit board of the heater, along with Brown and Blue . This heater was a Chronopass type which has a pilot etc. with mynew heater, it does not require the extra cable, so i can only assume its a pilot of some sort?

i used the 3 type cabling and just left the black wire loose inside the heater. however, after 2 minutes i smelt a burning smell, took out the heater, and the black casing of the black cable seemed to be a little bit damaged. so it spooked me and thought i would check here i cant see any...

you can see the Earth Live and Neutral fromthe fused switch into the backbox. there is also the think cabling coming into the backbox into a terminal with the black wire. Am i correct in assuming this is some sort of Pilot?

Hello everyone, looking for 2nd opinion. had one of these ; http://www.ehsshop.co.uk/heaters/panel_heaters/125kw_atlantic_f18_panel_convector_heater_standard_P678.html no changed to one of these...

thanks again ! always good to find people helping each other out. great forum. ill sort that socket out this weekend if i get time. Oh how i love DIY on a sunday... :D

well im a scotsman after all! im after the simplest, safest method really. in 5 years living in the flat i have never used the heater in the hallway, as its small and noone spends time in the hall! as im renting it out, i wanted to eliminate the chance of getting a phone call to tell me the...

will try that to be sure cheers

just on another note, how can you tell its ring circuit just from the pictures i gave?

that idea saves a lot of work! i was just going to leave the fused switch where it is,ie live, but remove anything coming from it. it would still be marked on the MCB, just without any connection after the fused switch. not sure if this is Ok though

there is a spare place for another CB, so could go in there i suppose you mean the part of the ring from the hall heater to the lounge heater? i only wanted to see if this was viable as i dont want to buy another heater! another heater is 80-100 quid, so would probably be cheaper than...

as for phase conductor see these for info :

hi again when i say 'own circuit' it is cabled as pictured above, the only thing is the circuit breaker at the main fusebox is labelled up "hall / lounge" heater. ie, the circuit also has the lounge heater on it. (the other heater in the bedroom has its own circuit breaker next to these at...

firstly thanks for getting in touch i was hoping to remove the heater as i dont want it there anymore and have read that leaving/covering wires in the wall is very poor practice / insurance becomes invalid. i just want to remove the fused switch and put a socket in its place as i dont...

i have a horstmann , although my tank is an unvented vessel. have you read through the installation instructions on the website you gave to go through the troubleshooting procedure (check blender etc) you should be able to hear the heater 'click' when the heater comes on , ie when the...

hello all. quick question/some advice on electrical matter at home. had a great response to a different problem i posted last year, so thanks to everyone on making this site what it is. regarding fuse switch for heater in hall. 2 black, 2 red and 2 earths come into the fuse switch terminal...

first of all make sure you have taken down your trousers :D I could get you something but it would probably make you glow all day :lol:

Hey thanks buddy, you are a life saver! As im no professional, i was only going from what the 3 pole isolator markings! Obviously the person before just wired up anything, completely ignoring the markings beside the contacts. Goes to show that you should always check someone elses work...

hello, i havent touched the 3 pole isolator at all, only to confirm the outputs to the extractor fan. I havent touched any other wires apart from the ones into the extractor fan. These are Brown, Grey and Black. The old fan was already installed (new build). The old fan definitely had the 3...

quick question for all thanks very much.... the wife has been on to me to replace our extractor fan for ages. I had a feeling there was something wrong with the board of our Vectaire, so i went out and bought a cheap timer one from B and Q. I am aware from previous posts about 3 pole...
