Room stat to comply with regs. Have I got it wrong.

[oldguy]

Hi there, This is my first post, (retired plumber).
My daughter has bought a house and the engineer says that one room must have a stat. fitted with no thermostatic valve to comply with regs. Does this means that the boiler is under the control of this one room no matter what the other room temps. are. Part J in Scotland
This is how small bore used to be fitted in the 60's and70's before thermostatic rad valves came along.
If in the lounge, where someone may have a nice log burner fitted or a coal fire the room is cosy but the rest of the house is cold.
Can someone set me straight. Jim :sweatdrop:

Welcome along. Totally get your point regarding an open fire or similar but if you have a thermostatic radiator valve and the thermostat in the same room then they are going to fight against each other

What setup has your daughter got at the moment Jim?

 

[Scott_D]

Put the stat in the hall if you have a fire/log burner

Agree with above I was always taught to put it in the coldest part

Thinking you missed a trick there mate, maybe it was her way of telling you she wanted a cuddle. lol

 

[Riley]

You old romantic

Many good things start with a cuddle. :smilewinkgrin:

 

[Riley]

It will just cost me in the long term :wink:

 

[rpm]

That's true, free love went out a long time ago!

 

[Riley]

We all pay for it... so thermostats .... :stuart:

You need to man up! I wouldn't stand for that from Kate. To be fair she's normally got the heating on maximum and every blooming window open!

 

[Riley]

No no I wasn't cold at all but she was literally turning blue. Surely that makes me uber man

 

[Riley]

Not giving her the password to the Internet stat helps as well
