New boiler potterton - where is stat?

[redbrickman]

I have a new house with a Potterton Promax boiler. Is there a thermostat on this boiler and if so where is it located and what should the setting be?

All I have found so far is the reset switch behind the drop down front panel.

Also should the hot pipes from the boiler to the storage tank (pressurized system) be lagged? I don't think they are because they run under the bathroom floor and it feels warm

No adjustable boiler stat on promax. Factory set.

No requirement to lag pipework under the floor.

Thanks,

That means I won't be tempted to fiddle about with the setttings

OK on the pipes, I'm happy that is standard practice.

I agree that it is not standard practice to lag pipes to the cylinder ( except within 500 mm of the cylinder now ).

However, I would always lag those pipes in my houses and for better customers.

I thought it was to within a metre of the cylinder Tony?

Yes, on reflection, I think it is one metre!

I always do it to the floor anyway regardless.

I think I can say I have never seen anyone else lag the pipes except DIYers.
