Wiring boiler in control centre

[Donald welsh]

My boiler has only a live. Natural, and earth. How does it conect to the system without a SW.l feed

What boiler is it? Are you sure it’s live neutral and earth?

 

[Donald welsh]

Boiler is 10+ years old no name on it as I can find was in when we moved into it in 9 years ago and definitely only 3 wires in flex

Is it a combi boiler? - these only require a live neutral and earth. What is it you’re trying to achieve?

 

[Donald welsh]

Non combi

Blood and stone spring to mind. What are you wanting to do? Can you post a photo of said boiler?

 

[EFLImpudence]

If they are the only wires to the boiler, then the Live will be a Switched Live, won't it?
Otherwise it would be on all the time.

This is my control centre this is why I was asking. Had issues since it was put in. Was looking at getting rid of links lnt and using it as a 10 way block

It's a Glow Worm Space Saver MK1 from the 1970's to 1980's. It only needs a switched live, neutral and earth, as per the diagram posted by @EFLImpudence

It has a permanent pilot light, so no electronic ignition. No pump overrun either.

no name on it as I can find

What does it say here?

Blind as a bat thanks for the advice from you and @EFLImpudence

Testament to the saying - "they don't make them like they used to"

 

[Donald welsh]

True it may be old but it works perfectly so not replacing it

 

[Madrab]

yup, indeed but there is a school of thought that suggests that it won't be very efficient ... lucky if it's > 70%
