forum rules.....

[leesparkykent]

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.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

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

 

[townfanjon]

only the gassafe elite are allowed to remove boiler cases . I do not go into consumer units .

 

[leesparkykent]

Is taking the cover of deemed as breaking into a gasway?

please read what Shaun said,its in plain English,not open for debate,abide by the rules or find a different forum,as you would have too remove the combustion panel on most boilers this is probably why the thread got pulled

What on earth is a decorative casing?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

......

Yes special type of case that have a secondary chamber seal but you won't need to know about all that

 

[ShaunCorbs]

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

 

[Riley]

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?

 

[Riley]

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

 

[Stanios]

Gotcha. So removing the decorative casing wouldn't make any parts accessible anyway

 

[townfanjon]

Jesus bloody wept !!! Be told , its like talking to one of the kids

 

[leesparkykent]

Out of interest what is the definition of a gas way?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

As you are not gas safe you don't need to know

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Non of the combustion parts normally pump and diverter and plate and pcb are exposed once you take the decorate cover off

 

[leesparkykent]

Why isn't it sinking in that that connecting a thermostat is not repairing or installing a boiler/gas appliance?

 

[Riley]

Dude seriously let it go

 

[Riley]

Why isn't it sinking in that that connecting a thermostat is not repairing or installing a boiler/gas appliance?

How do you propose you fit the stat with the case on?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Why isn't it sinking in that that connecting a thermostat is not repairing or installing a boiler/gas appliance?

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.

 

[leesparkykent]

As you are not gas safe you don't need to know

lol because regulation 6 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations wouldn't help your argument?

 

[AlexGas]

I know...

Its not me....I gave advice on the connections of a thermostat and the post was deleted.

 

[Riley]

Dear lord. You're just being deliberately awkward.

 

[leesparkykent]

I'm glad we have established that a blanket statement of having to be GSR to remove any boiler cover is completely wrong :hurray:

 

[ShaunCorbs]

lol because regulation 6 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations wouldn't help your argument?

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

hmmm no deliberately, just quoting from the forum rules
