Why ?
The boiler will run and run with outout a pipestat heating the whole house untill the temperature increases near the boiler and in winter this wont as you dont have space heating at the boiler hence a frost stat/pipe stat.
The pipe state will shut the boiler off when the return temp is 25-30c
In the MI of the Baxi Main it says its built in frost stat will kick in when needed heating the return to 30c .
I no from experience that that this doesnt happen and your whole house heats up .

Never had a problem with them shutting down at the preset 30 fit lots in lofts and never had a customer mention excessive heat in winter ,my own is in there so have everyday knowledge of it .
each to there own but cant see a pipe stat set at 30 being any more accurate than the built in manufacturers one also set at 30

Cant comment on your ideal logic as the thread is about potterton heatmax a completely different boiler with different components
To be correct the RGI has to fit the mounting bracket to the wall, assemble and fit the flue, install the gas supply and commission the boiler!
Not many RGIs would do all that for £100.
I would prefer the Biasi M110 to virtually any other similar boiler.

A boiler's internal frost stat protection - assuming this is a loft install (can't be faffed to read the whole thread) will be fine. Installing a pipe stat will do squat for the internal controls on the boiler.
I have a Honeywell CM927 thermostat (fantastic), surely the boiler will only do what it's told by the stat?
Or do you mean that trying to protect its self it'll keep getting hotter?
It will have its own internal protection that will kick in if it gets cold.
Normally a sequence like the pump spinning up for heating at 7 degrees and the burner firing at 5. Shut down will be at 20 something or other.
Some boilers will vary.
The Honeywell will control the house temps.
Don't think much of your RGI BTW.

Yeah with the pipe and frost stat when it gets cold itl just run til around 30c then shut off before iit has chance to heat the whol house up.
I'm sure he will devastated.. He was telling me just the other day how much your opinion meant to him...
What do they call him , should i know of him ?
You may know of him but in light of what's been said i'll refrain from naming names..
