hi all ,

I’m after some help please , I’ve just had a glow worm boiler installed and wanted to add a wireless thermostat on , I just want to check how it would be wired , currently I just have a switch fuse spur next which directly feeds the boiler . There is a L N E RT ( room thermostat ) connections on the boiler and the other connection on the boiler is in one of the photos and the other the room thermostat connection a .

Any help would be appreciated

Has it been completed eg commissioned then ?

It's building regs so doubt it was signed off

You need to be gas safe to wire in that thermostat so best get him back or another one in

Gas safe to wire a thermostat? First I've heard of it.

Simple enough.

Yeah lol, a 240v supply and a N/O contact. Rocket science.

How confident are you at wiring mains to the thermostat receiver?

It is against forum rules to give out step-by-step instructions.
Best get an electrician in to do this for you mate.

All the advice we can give you we already have mate without giving you step-by-step instructions.
You have all the info you need.

No worries . Seems this forum is more about an ego boost for the members more than anything else . atb

Providing you don't break a combustion chamber seal you can remove the cover of a boiler, and from what I understand there aren't many boilers in the UK where you would need to break a combustion chamber seal for wiring purposes.

You unit is going to need a power supply (line, neutral and earth). Regarding the link in the boiler (that you've shown in another picture) connect 3 and 4 on the new device to the terminal block with the link in it (removing the link as you go) and you should be good to go.

I might be inclined to use some 5 core cable (custom made you might say for this as you can use brown, blue and yellow/green for the L, N and earth). You should sleeve the conductors you use to connect the link terminals with brown tape.
