stat overruling???

[nicsin02]

Hi guys, this is the scenario, I don't have a thermostat but most of my radiators have thermostatic valves, these are always set to 5 (5 being the highest) and I control the actual temperature from my combo boiler upstairs (which goes from low to high, and there's also an "auto" feature) i have to go upstairs to turn on/off the heating all the time and it's getting a pain, I was gna get a wireless stat ( could someone recommend a good one plz) basically I want to know does the stat overrule the boiler settings ,for example I have the temp on the boiler low but the stat at 30?? Or will I leave it at auto??? Cheers guys

Most C/H wireless room thermostats, are the same, or work in a similar fashion, the room stat will cut offthe boiler regardless of what your rad stats or the boiler is set at, at least mine does

All as above .. BUT do NOT fit your room stat in a room that has a radiator fitted with a TRV.

Remove the TRV and replace it with an ordinary wheel head type (ordinary radiator valve) otherwise you'll never be able to control the damned thing!!

Boiler stat over rules room stat the boiler stat controls the temp of the water leaving the boiler, so if you put room stat on 30 the boiler will still cut on and off

Didn't realise we had so many plumbers moonlighting as electricians on here ........ or should it be the other way around

 

[Spark1979]

Sadly the other way round gas works pays better

if boiler stat is set to low and roomstat to high boiler stat will cut out first.

............. and if the TRV (on the radiator) is set lower than the room stat then that will cut off before the roomstat and that is why you don't put both in the same room.
