Regarding my deleted post and locking of the thread the forum rules say and I quote "We cannot and will not give advice on the installation or repair of boilers, cookers or ANY gas appliances for your own safety unless you can prove you are in the industry."

Now the op was asking about a thermostat and the connections....this is not installing or repairing a gas appliance, boiler, cooker......Its connecting a thermostat. Maybe you need to update your forum rules.
 
No as with this boiler you would need to remove the case of the appliance to get at the pcb etc which under gas safe law you need to be qualified to do eg gas safe reg

If you are please provide your gas safe no

Please read my post again.....How is the connection of a thermostat in breach of the forum rules? "We cannot and will not give advice on the installation or repair of boilers, cookers or ANY gas appliances for your own safety unless you can prove you are in the industry."

You need to remove the case of the boiler, which requires you to be gas safe , unless your gas safe you can't fit the thermo stat and we can't give advice as your not qualified
 
only the gassafe elite are allowed to remove boiler cases . I do not go into consumer units .

What on earth is a decorative casing?

Think of a baxi solo, you take the case off and there's a secondary combustion seal / door
 
The point is that cases make seals which protect people should anything go wrong with the combustion process

I don't think your getting the point....I am abiding by the rules. No where in the rules does it say that no one can give information about the connection of a thermostat. the forum rules state "We cannot and will not give advice on the installation or repair of boilers, cookers or ANY gas appliances for your own safety unless you can prove you are in the industry."

What part of connecting a thermostat falls under the installation or repair of boilers, cookers or ANY gas appliance?
 
Because to wire said stat they need to remove the boiler cover why isn't this sinking in

Im sorry but I can't explain it any more simple than this

Take case off to get at electrics need to be gas safe
 
Jesus bloody wept !!! Be told , its like talking to one of the kids
 
Stanios said:
Gotcha. So removing the decorative casing wouldn't make any parts accessible anyway
Click to expand...

Non of the combustion parts normally pump and diverter and plate and pcb are exposed once you take the decorate cover off
 
leesparkykent said:
Why isn't it sinking in that that connecting a thermostat is not repairing or installing a boiler/gas appliance?
Click to expand...

YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE COVER OFF and forum rules and gas safe rules state if you take the cover off you must be GAS SAFE unless it's a decorate cover

Which types of boilers require a Gas Safe certified installer for a Nest Thermostat installation?
In the UK, most boilers do not require a Gas Safe installer for a Nest Thermostat installation. Typically, only combi boilers with a functional case do. However, it can be difficult to tell which type of boiler you have, so it’s best to get a qualified professional to help you.

Its not me....I gave advice on the connections of a thermostat and the post was deleted.
 
Dear lord. You're just being deliberately awkward.
 
I'm glad we have established that a blanket statement of having to be GSR to remove any boiler cover is completely wrong :hurray:
 
leesparkykent said:
lol because regulation 6 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations wouldn't help your argument?
Click to expand...

Yes it does can you touch the gas valve if yes you need to be gas safe but then you would need to remove the case so you would need to be gas safe just incase it doesn't have a secondary door/ seal

Stop digging a hole to Australia

I'm not digging holes shaun...it was you that gave the wrong info stating you have to be GSR to remove a boiler cover which we have now established is not as black and white as you first thought/portrayed :wink_smile:
 
I suggest you'll find that the mods disagree with you

On a forum how do we know what type of case seal it is we don't and unless your qualified / know what your looking for and most boiler these days arnt secondary case seals that boiler you gave the advice on isn't

The information ShaunCorbs gave is correct. You, however, are wrong.

Want to keep digging?

yes that would be your opinion that Shaun is correct. Why are you asking if I want to keep digging? I'm just having a debate....which seems to be if I'm not fully in agreement with the majority then your swinging the ban hammer?
 
See if I can put it in terms you can understand

whyre you trying to encourage Joe public to mess with gas appliances is what it boils down to. You've tried to justify this on previous threads it just doesn't wash

No ban hammer yet. What you need to understand is that we take a wide and sweeping view with regards the removal of boiler cases, decorative or otherwise.

If you are not gas safe you do not do it.

THOSE ARE THE RULES OF THIS FORUM.

Your opinion doesn't matter on the subject. There are far too many manufacturers and models to start saying you can remove this one, but not that one or that one.

Now, you may disagree. That's your right. But you will respect the rules and abide by them, as you agreed to when you signed up to the forum.

Otherwise I will exercise the bit that says the mods decision is final.

Capiche?

No that's not correct either Shaun. As long as they are competent to do so and either have it tested an notified using a third party who is either registered with napit or stroma or contact LABC before hand a they send one of their registered contractors to carry out the necessary tests and inspection (for a fee of course) then they are well within their right to install the circuit.
