no fused spur on boiler

[stokecity]

There is no fused spur next to combi boiler, i assume the boiler, clock and stat are wired to a wiring centre then straight to consumer unit, is this correct?? thanks

Should then have a fused spur for wiring centre.

Must be on a three pin plug ?

 

[stokecity]

cant find the spur anywhere? not next to the boiler and not next to consumer unit?

 

[stani]

Where does the wire from the boiler go to?

 

[tipintim]

Is it a conversion of an older system? Have a look in the airing cupboard for the power.

 

[stokecity]

there was a water heater before, have traced the wires as far as i can without moving the furniture, they dissapear under floor boards

 

[tipintim]

if cable goes under floor boards, that sugests boiler is upstairs. Or it can be ground floor floor?
If boiler is upstairs, have a look in the kitchen, sounds like the used the old power supply to water heater/cylinder supply

follow the flex from the boiler lol

Switch circuits off and you'll find what its part of. Probably a well hidden plug.

Is it flex that you see going to boiler, or twin and earth flat cable?
A photo would be good, can see what is what to help.

check electrical consumer unit ! have worked in few jobs where boiler was taking direct to consumer unit

Not unusual that along with the fridge.

my boiler is wired back to the airing cupboard and connected into the honeywell wiring centre with a fused spur powering everything through the wiring centre.

 

[tipintim]

The reason i asked if it was an upgrade, was the last one i seen as described , was wired to the cooker point, that they pinched from the old cylinder feed from the airing cupboard. Lol

 

[stokecity]

there is a mcb labelled up as boiler, with water heater crossed out, i thought it must go straight to consumer but shoudnt it have a 3amp fuse?

 

[AWheating]

yes, 3am fused spur would be the way to go, local to the appliance.

Does that mean you have to go to airing cupboard to isolate boiler to work on it?

 

[PlumbBobBob]

yes lol

 

[tipintim]

yes lol

The original poster is having a problem locating a fused spur for his combi boiler. You are talking about a system boiler that you have. Well, you should know better. All boilers should be able to be isolated for the user and the repairer at boiler point, even if it is being fed via a center in an airing cupboard. This would be good practice for all. Dont you think?

Every appliance should have a means of direct electrical isolation. Boiler should also be protected by 3 AMP fuse (or 5 AMP for a select few).
This should be upgraded.
