A plumber friend of mine has asked for some help wiring up a Vaillant Ecotec system boiler in an S plan configuration. I am familiar with S plan but can’t work out how to do it with this boiler, and the Vaillant manual whilst very good on the gas side is a bit lacking electrically…
The boiler...
It used to be common for central heating controllers and switches to be placed in airing cupboards within bathrooms. I this permissible under current regs?
In years gone by there was often a three pin socket as well.
I was just wandering if anybody can help me. The controller to the combi has gone missing during a refurb all that is left is a 4c cable and the backplate. My question is that all the central heating controllers you see eg:siemens, honeywell ect will these be suitable or do i need to get a...
HI guys, i will be quite honest im not that good on wiring central heating systems proberly as i have done very little with it.
went to a job today where there was a problem, when you switch the water on the heating comes on aswell, even though there are seperate switches on the controller for...
Got a customer who wants to lock his vaillant eco tec boiler controls up and over ride the central heating with a remote 60minute manual reset timer. He says that tenants just put it on constant and leave it on - then they open windows when it all gets too hot. Anyone got an idea across which...
Hi all,
Do I have to bond all the copper pipes at the combi boiler if the 3 conditions below are met?
i) 30mA rcd protection on all circuits
ii) Disconection times are met
iii) Main bonding to gas and water in place.

Hi All,
:eek: I have to first fix some heating control cables, mainly to thermostats, and the heating guy's have all done a magic trick and vanished - so I have 3 programmable thermostats to wire for, my main question is - do the each of the thermostats run seperatly back to the wiring centre...
Hello, Im an apprentice and I've been set the task of doing a bit of research on central heating systems. I think I have a fairly basic knowledge of how they work and how to wire one up. However, I was hoping to gain a bit of an understanding about how some of the individual components work...
Hi all, I've just spent most of my Sunday trying to answer this question: what bonding is required for a gas central heating system where some pipes are under the suspended timber floor? I have to consider this in connection with a consumer unit change, the gas and water main bonding is in 10mm...
Hello,
I have a hot water cylinder with an immersion heater which (as far as I can tell without looking further) is on it's own dedicated circuit. I'm not at home right now so can't look up the circuit breaker rating (I'll look this evening).
I have a wood burner with back boiler and intend to...
Does anyone know a good site for diagrams?
I've been trying to understand central heating for a while now but it all goes straight over my head.
Manufacturer provided diagrams seriously confuse me and i'm starting to get worried, i want to know exactly what i'm doing before i finish my...
Hi, just a quick Q. Have just wired up my first s-plan and it all work great and passed the tests etc. But what should be sleeved with brown in the wiring center. Is it all live what comes back from the valves, like a switch, live in and out??? Since there is already a neutral terminal in the...
Hi guys,
Ant help would be great. I am about to do a complete rewire, I need some information on wiring up a system that will incorporate a boiler, time clock, stat and perhaps an immersion.
I would like some pointers please of where I can look up the required wiring.
Thanks.
