Can anyone tell me if you still require main earth bond to the incoming mains water. All the pipework and central heating is plastic (except 1m of copper from combi on water and central heating). The boiler is about 5m away from incomming mains. Also the mains is a minimum of 5m of plastic MDPE...
hi guys
In two minds about underfloor heating, am wondering what the advantages and disadvantes are with these types of heating. I´ve installed a few electric underfloor heating systems but only on a small scale. Never come across the water pipe underfloor heating, what do you guys think is...
Does anyone know if G59 relays are absolutely mandatory for every system above 16A/phase? Someone has said that if you install a sunny tripower 10000TL you don't need to install a relay as it has the adequate G59 protection incorporated? I know this is a bit of a grey area but I'm hoping someone...
Hi all
Just wondering what kind of rates you guys would expect if doing price work on installing central hearing systems. Bonding has to be upgraded if not there and all main earths 16mm regardless of supply due to the contract. Combi, y and s plan prices please. Also please add for the need...
Been called to a job where the client tried to change a central heating programmer.
He took the wires out the backplate and forgot to note down where they went! Monkey!
So I have the brown and blue from spur which go to L and N of the back plate but then I also have a brown and blue from...

Does anyone know if any companies do wireless control of the valves in a Y plan system?
I have looked at the Honeywell solution using ST9420C as the controller but this is WIRED. The room stats (DT92E) are wireless to the controller though which is a start.
What I ideally want is a system...
Im abit confused. Hope some1 can help.
We've just finished wiring 8 small office units. Each one has a sub-mains, fed with a 3c 16mm swa cable. All are ran back to a central point in the metre building. I am going to run all the SWA's on cable tray into a 3 phase consumer unit with seperate...
This is my first attempt at wiring underfloor heating and i need URGENT advice if possible.
The attached diagram is how wired. 2 zone valves, first for central heating with its own stat, second for UFH with three actuators. Actuator 1 is for bathroom with one stat and actuators 2 and 3 are...
Seen this somewhere before.
Guy calls me to say in the last 3 weeks his street has had a few power cuts. Since then his central heating system which controls both the boiler and the hot water has had the following problem.
He can turn both heating and hot water on separately. But when he...
Hi guys, I am currently on level 3 2330 at night school, and have decided I want to move my stat for my central heating as it is upstairs and I want it downstairs. My question is: the stat is wired in 3core and earth not sure whether 1 or 1.5mm - if I want to extend the cable do I need 1 or...
anyone recommend me a good simple book, or a book with a chapter or two, or even online resource that goes into how different central heating systems work and how to diagnose faults. The 2330 never mentioned them :(
Cheers
I was thinking of purchasing one of these 5ltr bottles of central heating cleaner but how on earth do I put it in the system without making a mess?

Hello again, i'm fed up looking on watching people wire these heating systems etc, i'm quite capable of doing it if i just had an up to date book or some website that could expound upon it that i could learn at my leisure, i've had it explained before but something like this requires a bit of...
Hi,
Need some advice,
I've got a Vaillant combi boiler with a programmable timer (Danfoss) and a seperate stat in the hallway (Danfoss).
The radiators all get hot to whatever temperature the boiler is set at - even when the programmable timer is off and the stat set to zero... I'm sure...
