New cylinder/ boiler advice 5 bed house

unless type approved and mi's explicity state otherwise then any appliance connected to a meter must be served by adequately sized pipework that enables all appliances to run at maximum simultaneously with no greater than 1mb pressure drop between meter outlet and appliance inlet.

georgedrivelbigbumwell you are showing your total lack of any relevant knowledge here.

Since the OP lives in NW London which is our primary service area, as we can repair boilers on the same day, there is obviously no need for a second backup boiler!

I am surprised that George did not notice that.

How about you give us a link to the switch you think you can use for this application.

Any two-way switch exceeding the boilers 3 amps. 10 amp switches are freely available for a few pounds and any electrical shop.

Mr killer666, But the two combis CANNOT be run at the same time, as the two-way electrical switch prevents this. So 100% legal. There you go. Got it?

Oh you are slow. What is new there? The thread went over to full CH & DHW backup. There you go. Got it?

not legal you *****, they are still connected so the regs apply.

The way its wiring is irrelevant. THe gas regs do not cover wiring of this nature. The fact that they are both connected to the same insufficient gas supply would mean that both would need to work safely at the same time.

Of course they do.

Mr g, it is totally correct. The two appliances CANNOT be on at the same time. There you go. Got it?

 

[GeorgeBramwell]

The two appliance cannot be on at the same time. Have a look at the Rinnai Twinflow. The two appliances (ATAG boiler and Rinnai multi-point) cannot be on at the same time, as it they have a flow switch which cut out the CH boiler when DHW is called.

Yet they do not have separate gas supplies.

The Rinnai Twin Flow features a unique flow switch which regulates the maximum gas loading for the system. At 6 litres/min (domestic hot water flow rate) and above the boiler automatically switches to standby, allowing the water heater to operate at maximum capacity. This eliminates the need for a larger gas supply or metering.

There you go. Got it?

Mr all, you being a silly man again. The two appliance cannot be on at the same time. Have a look at the Rinnai Twinflow.

the rinnai has specific type approval for this and your ad hoc cowboy job from b&q certainly doesn't bigwaterdrivelbumboygeorge.

If you had the slightest clue you'd know that of course, are you doing one of these 6 week training courses?

I'd have thought someone with your obvious and acute learning difficulties would be raking it in on the social. . . . not to mention the fact that as you live in a caravan on an illegal greenbelt site you pay no rent or taxes.

 

[GeorgeBramwell]

Mr killer666, you are being silly again! Such fun! Both two-way switch and flow switch are a mechanism to ensure both appliances are not on at the same time.

There you go! Got it?

 

[doitall]

Not silly georgy Drivel. Regulations.

Not what you find in B&Q, from the sales boy.

Stick to Selling the Big Issue down the high street.

 

[GeorgeBramwell]

Not silly

Oh you are silly! Such fun. Can you and the rest of slow people on this thread point to any reg that says what you are saying?
