Boiler wiring question

[mwatsonxx]

Can you not work out anything for yourself?

Are you saying you can't agree? what are us lesser mortals going to do?

Or you could just cover all bases by installing a 3-amp fuse in parallel with an un-fused supply.

So what does all that mean?

I'll try to explain it in sinple terms for you.

Point number 1 means that there are no requirements in the Wiring Regulations for gas appliance supplies to be fused at 3A.

Point number 2 means that there are no requirements in any gas regulations for gas appliance supplies to be fused at 3A.

Point number 3 means that the Wiring Regulations do not make it mandatory to abide by any manufacturer instructions.

Point number 4 means that the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (I'm assuming it is they) do make it mandatory to abide by any manufacturer instructions.

Point number 5 means that some gas appliance manufacturers require 3A fusing in the UK.

Point number 6 means that some gas appliance manufacturers do not require 3A fusing outside the UK.

Point number 7 means that nobody knows why #5 is justified, particularly when #6 applies to the same appliance sold elsewhere.

Point number 8 means that notwithstanding #7, #4 means that observing #5 is not optional.


I can't imagine how hard-of-thinking someone would have to be to truly not understand each of those points.
