pipe stat on Rayburn setup

[robbie77]

The introduction of motorized valves is not the best way to go, or a good idea.

The live to the pump connects to 2 in the stat.

I said you'll burn the boiler out, not the fuel, the Rayburn should be ticking over quietly, not roaring away.

Would you be kind enough to expand on this statement please.

What would you recommend?
The Rayburn website has an S plan setup with motorised valves although I note from previous post you say there should be nothing on the primaries.

If need be I'll try and get someone who is experienced with this sort of system but I want to stop it boiling the tank and winter is approaching so the rayburn will be on more.

If you branch off the primary pipes, for the radiators, you could fit an MV, but there should be one rad connected to the primary pipes as a heat sink in any case.

To comment on the S plan, I would need to know the boiler/cooker details, but I will suggest they are talking modern appliances, not antique solid fuel boilers/cookers.

If in any doubt ask the manufacturer.

Can I suggest you read the literature that you posted the link too.

At the end of the day he pointed out something that enabled me to do the job, so for that and all the other constructive correct advice I am grateful.
