Just replacing my old boiler. The pump in the airing cupboard was switched directly by the water / heating timer in the kitchen.
The new boiler has the pump switched by the electronics control inside the boiler itself. To save running a wire up the outside wall into & across the loft, then down into to airing cupboard to the pump, could I disconnect the pump wire from behind the water / heating timer, & extend & route it (~1 ft [sorry E.U, 300mm]) to the boiler?
My main reason for asking is I’ve opened the junction box in the airing cupboard & see the pump wire also goes to a couple of wires inside the 3 way valve, as I’m not a heating engineer I was just concerned.
Thanks for any advice.
