New thermostat for my boiler

[Ermintrude]

100a button or a 2p coin. 3A on almost every domestic boiler. Must have been a sparky who did that!

3amp for your glow shed my friend

 

[slacky]

Thought so

 

[Ermintrude]

Thought so

What you also though a sparky could be at fault..... Phew glad it's not just us plumbers.

Put time clock on boiler on constant.

 

[slacky]

Did read that somewhere but glad u cleared it up hopefully gonna fit it this afternoon

 

[slacky]

fitted the new stat earlier working spot on but now my condenstate trap keeps playing up. read on the net theres been a few revisions of these wheres the best place to get a new one from?

 

[TBServices]

Fail.

 

[slacky]

care to explain>

 

[Dotty]

Means it's something you can't touch, replace or repair unless you're a gsr.

 

[slacky]

im not going to repair it. A mate of mine is a gas safe engineer doing a couple of rads and outside tap for me but was going to get one ordered for when he does the bits

 

[Dotty]

Just let him know what make and model boiler you've got, he'll probably get it cheaper for you.

 

[slacky]

wanted to make sure the newest revision was fitted. What makes them go faulty?

 

[Dotty]

Sods law usually.

not helping me out here much mate lol

 

[Dotty]

Trust me, I am.........

 

[slacky]

Not really sure how?

Thats the general idea. Leave it to your gsr mate. Avoids temptation then.

 

[slacky]

I'm just curious as to my they fail quite commonly

 

[Dotty]

As Simon said. I'm helping you avoid killing yourself. I know you're thinking "It's just a trap!" but that trap is part of the flue.

Cock it up and you won't be hopping around sucking your fingers.

You'll be lying on the floor. You'll have turned blue and long stoped breathing. But to make it even more humiliating you'll have soiled yourself first.

Corrosive liquid attacking the seal.

 

[Ermintrude]

Or wrong sized fuse

 

[gasmanrob]

Trust you ermi

 

[slacky]

Or wrong sized fuse

Shouldn't be a problem now swapped it just a quick question the lights on the boiler stay on now is this right ?

 

[Ermintrude]

Don't thinks so? Think that means your heating is being called for

 

[slacky]

The radiators stay cold thermostat set to go off at a certain time
