Baffled by this system? Can't see a pump...

You got the answer 4+ times. You really havent got a clue! You say that plumbers dont have to be mensa but at least be able to read what others are saying to you!

Are you part P? If not why are you wiring it anyway? What happens if something goes wrong in between the time you finish and the sparks test it and burns the house down. I bet they wont appreciate that favour!
 
You don't need to be part p if you let your LBAC know you are doing the work and they check it off, check it out, more scaremongering. High horse needs a break I've got a high trough he can have a drink out of.

HAHAHAHA I was the one answering my own questions here, no one helped one bit. I told you lot it was a y plan. I worked that out because of the components in the system, and the fact it had a v4703 mid pos valve. All I wanted to know was whether every system needs a pump, I thought it might have been under their floor or something. I still didn't get the answer, someone even said "a y plan won't work without a pump". I wish I'd never asked to be honest. Thanks though for all the really really useful advice.

Yes you did get the answer ! the pump is in the boiler, its that you did not understand the system you were messing around with !!Your so smart how do you think the water & heating work with out a pump. Its a bit rude to say that you got no help, next you will be bragging how you sorted out this fault, and how no one on this site could not sort it, I think you have just been very lucky that you did not cause any damage.

simples.

no pump.
 
Hot water circulates down over all on it's own now! Your ignorance astounds me.
 
So simple that you only now found a pictures of it and you were looking for a pump that didn't exist?

I'm glad you have it sorted but you really don't seem to understand what's being said here.

I'm glad you do all you're own plumbing work. So does this guy:

Simple as the diagram shows or should we call it a basic sketch which if you take for gospel would never work. Further more with the electrical work, the EWR require you to have sufficient experience and knowledge to carry out the work safely and not cause danger to any person. Basically qualified and tested, not just wired by numbers.
 
If you don't like the replies you get, you shouldn't be getting too arsey with people you might need more advice in the future.

I have Part P but not a load of experience so usually have someone giving me pointers when i'm doing any wiring. People were trying to help and you were told where the pump was.

Also sounds like you watch too many Danny Dyer films.
 
Why are we still feeding the troll lads? We all know that he knows diddly squat - the questions he asked give that away. Now he's just on a wind-up.

Yes your right there, heard enough now, Tamz hit it on the head on thread 2.

Guys don't worry I've worked as a sparkys mate before I have a fluke tester and a live wand too. I'm perfectly safe just not an expert at wiring centres. Thanks for your replies though. S noo what does the 3 port valve do if the boiler switches between heating and hot water? Essentially the question I was originally asking is why in all the wiring diagrams I look at does it have a pump in the system, and can I just omit it and connect up everything else.?

tc tc tc another electrician
 
All someone had to say was the water comes out the top of the cylinder which is higher than the level of the taps so gravity carries the hot water, no pump is needed. It is not pumped by the boiler, a y plan doesn't have to have a pump. I've worked all this out with the ex-british gas plumber you were ridiculing yesterday, after none of the so-called experts on here could offer up this simple advice. So in the end they didn't have to shell out to get it wired back up. There is a lot of hate on here its a bit worrying, it seems to be a trend in forums for people to get out their prams and start making mocking statements because they feel so superior. Its just a job guys calm down you aren't heroes you just go to work because you're getting paid for it. I only wanted to do a favour for someone who was in need of hot water to bathe their children then I get insults and mockery I hope you all feel big and clever.
 
If I thought you were actually being serious then I would be very worried for anybody whose house you have worked in.
 
Can this thread be locked before people start calling this bloke a c*** or a p**** or a bell end. Oh that ones ok! There's a pump in the boiler. There's a pump in the boiler. There .... Is ..... A..... Pump..... In..... The..... Boiler!!!! A pump! In the boiler! It's in the friggin boiler! You've been told countless times. Now sod off and stop antagonising the good folk on here.

What planet are you on? Of course a Y plan needs a pump. It's one of Honeywell's fully pumped systems. What it doesn't necessarily need is another pump if there is already one in the boiler.
 
water does not come up of the cylinder Mr. electrician ......gravity does not allow this to happen ......water does not run up hill
gravity force from the water that is in the Cold water storage tank does this , as it is higher then the hot water cylinder ,
for every 1m of head gravity gives you 0.1bar pressure
but then you are electrician and even If I spend 30min writhing you would have not understand this basic physical principals any way

I give up. The pump is connected to the flow and return pipes from this system boiler and are connected to the heating coil in the cylinder. The boiler doesn't have water in and out pipes, so how can the pump in the boiler push water to any taps? Have you thought about what you're saying. Experts still telling me there's a pump in the boiler. The pump in the boiler has nothing to do with the hot water, its just for heating the rads and/or cylinder. Are you saying that the central heating water that's been going round the rads suddenly comes out of the tap. The two circuits are completely independent.

you are a star 🙂 love you so mush
 
now is time for this DRAMA to come to end , before some one start showering with the water from the ch system
 
I didn't think I'd need to explain that the tank pushes the water out the top as the cold water enters the bottom from the tank. I've got an A in physics GCSE. I didn't think you needed one of those to have a bit of common sense like that. Missing links.

So how does the pump push hot water to the taps if its not connected to the hot water pipes??? Have you thought about what you're saying or do you not have a bull**** filter in your brain.
