There isn't a reg it's just highly frowned upon.

so it fine then

How can anyone give advice on how to do a job without seeing what is involved.
People come on here getting advice for free.
You have been told how you can make it work but myself and leesparkykent have both advised you that what you have is incorrect.
I then am on the receiving end of derogatory comments because you did not get what you wanted to hear.

I gave an IMAGE of my current wiring and asked for advice. I was advised accordingly by Corbs. You gave no positive input whatsoever. Why are you even on this forum ?

Yeah if you like doing highly frowned upon work.

I often find there are two types of electrician, skilled and those who tape up a green/yellow conductor for another purpose.

how, so your telling me you would go to change a stat and see someones used a a core you dont like using (lets say a 6360) and theyve used the flexi earth all labled up as a core (both ends)

you would say no i cant install your new stat and i need to rip apart your house to install a new cable

hows it any different than using the neutral core as a call all correctly labelled etc , its not

so you would re purpose a neutral core

Where did I tell you that?

Define a neutral core.

 

[Corbs]

Where did I tell you that?

"Yeah if you like doing highly frowned upon work." and some one of your calibre wouldnt do frowned upon work

 

[Corbs]

Define a neutral core.

can be any core if labelled correctly (cant be the earth in twin and earth)

I don't recall saying anything about ripping apart someone's house? Would you mind telling me where I did? A skilled tradesman shouldn't be ripping houses apart....The OP has a hive, the hive receiver can be wired into the boiler which wouldn't mean "ripping the house apart" If you have to rip a house apart to install a thermostat then maybe you should look at choosing another profession?

That isn't the definition of a neutral conductor....why are you trying to skirt around the correct answer/definition?

post 18 tell me what would you do then if you had nothing else but the earth core / spare core off a flex

completes the circuit and carry s a negative current away the same amount that is being drawn from the live within a tolerance i believe
