Hi
I had to replace the built in programmer on my oil fired boiler with an external programmer.
I did not have 0.75 sq.mm flexible cable to hand so I used 1.5 sq.mm grey UPVC coated cable ( typically used for lighting circuits ) to connect up the external programmer.
I ran the UPVC cable inside the boiler keeping it away from any hot surfaces.
Will this cable be okay to leave inside the boiler ?
Why is flexible cable mentioned in the installation instructions for oil fired boilers in general - is it simply easier to run / use or is it rated for a higher external temperature ?
Many thanks.
