Anyone Help Identifying This Electrical Connector/Coupler?

[Yip Yo]

Hello All,

Here is a picture of an electrical connector which sits between my central heating pump and the wiring, a good way of swapping it in case of failure.

There's another one on the 3 Valve as well. Top marks to the installer!

I want to put one of these on the HW Cylinder stat as well - anyone know where I can get one from?

Cheers,
YYo

Thanks, so this is a Light Control Module connector - is there a high street equivalent?, I checked the usual suspects - B&Q, Screwfix, Wickes, etc

Just how often do you find yourself swapping out faulty pumps, valves, stats etc?

My Google search also found them for sale on Ebay. Just Google Ensto

Similar things are on the shelf in plumbers merchants. Used them a few times when the plumbers decide to put the zone valve miles away from each other and one or both need extending - does make swapping the head/valve easier in the future

Thanks guys -

Surely the time spent fitting the plug to a new pump etc, would be longer than just connecting direct into the pump, as a new pump,etc, is unlikely to come with that plug on it I assume.
I would quess the plumber fits them for his own benefit and likely prefits them to the wiring centre outputs and pumps etc, prior to installing them.

Anyway i think Rs sell them Ensto Nac 31S we sometimes use them for display lighting, however theres various types, male female, some with pins and some with holes and I recall its not that straightforward to work out whats what
I do believe they now do free delivery

EDIT
Sites just changed from being £1.37 each to a Discontinued product.
Though they still sell the similar Wieland versions

Motorised valves use up to 6 wires, and there is no standard wiring diagram for a plug so for domestic can't see how it helps? As for pump, what's wrong with a 5 amp plug and socket like used for lights? Or one of these

Are you buying the cheapest you can find each time?

No, why do you ask - I really want the same one, because I have mild OCD.

BAS is referring to the pump, not the connector

My mistake, pumps weren't the cheapest but the fastest available - so they weren't researched. We're on our second Grundfos at the mo, can't remember the others.

Our CH runs 24/7 < I always thought this was the cause of the pump failures than any particular pump brand issue.
