no fused spur on boiler

[stokecity]

there is a mcb labelled up as boiler, with water heater crossed out, i thought it must go straight to consumer but shoudnt it have a 3amp fuse?

yes, 3am fused spur would be the way to go, local to the appliance.

my boiler is wired back to the airing cupboard and connected into the honeywell wiring centre with a fused spur powering everything through the wiring centre.

Does that mean you have to go to airing cupboard to isolate boiler to work on it?

yes lol

yes lol

The original poster is having a problem locating a fused spur for his combi boiler. You are talking about a system boiler that you have. Well, you should know better. All boilers should be able to be isolated for the user and the repairer at boiler point, even if it is being fed via a center in an airing cupboard. This would be good practice for all. Dont you think?

Every appliance should have a means of direct electrical isolation. Boiler should also be protected by 3 AMP fuse (or 5 AMP for a select few).
This should be upgraded.
