Installing a circuit supplying 5 towel rails from a thermal store, circuit will have its own smart pump and timer, each towel rail will have a trv and a manual bypass will be fitted after pump, will this setup comply with part L ?

It will if it`s installed by an engineer with part L credentials, why don`t you fit a cooker and gas fire, throw in a central heating system then come online and ask if it complies with Corgi? it`s a ridiculous question.

Find out what Part ``L`` means. :rolleyes:
 
i know what part L means and complying with it doent require any special qualifications (fitting TRV's for example)

should have a boiler interlock this can be provided by room stat or honeywell cm zoneing rad valves
 
the trv`s are classed as zoning. fit an auto bypass it will work better than a manual 1.

i would also use a programmer and zone valve and incorporate a room stat somewhere to satisfy the boiler interlock need.

god knows were though . :)


this would stop the pump cycling on satisfaction of the heat req..

bit of a non statement, as no building regs require special qualifications.
To be pedantic, that's not quite true. Non-notification (i.e. self-certification) of a gas appliance installation is permitted only when performed by a suitably approved person.

I bet that if you get certification done by building inspection, and you have installed it yourself as a homeowner, they do not ask you for your qualifications

I don't see why anyone would want to bet against you, since you're gambling on the BCO simply doing what it says in the Building Regulations. :rolleyes:

I don't see why I should offer a bet unless I know I am going to earn some dosh. I am a plumber, not a charity :) :) :)
 
Am not aware of any building regs that require qualification, but by all means, enlighten me.
 
exactly my point.
you can technically/theoretically comply with the building regs even if you don't have any qualifications.
if/when things are approved/certified by bco, i would consider them to be compliant.
that does of course not mean that the job is safe, or well done, or reliable.
