- Join me on this wiring journey where we converted a thermal store to an unvented cylinder on S-Plan. There was a lot of tracing back and forth and continuity checks needed to work out which cable was which, but got there in the end.
Hope you enjoy the video!
As always, thank you all for supporting the channel, I appreciate it!

Good job Chirag ❤
Thanks 👍🏾
balancing valve on the HW return would be nice
👍🏾
Just as an update for your reference; Heating system wiring now comes under BS7671 and isn't considered appliance wiring anymore. So no more using the cpc as a switch wire, but also Black should be sleeved Brown as a switch wire and Grey should be sleeved Blue for Neutral.
It's to avoid using Black as neutral as after 2004 it is now a Phase colour not a Neutral colour. If you're sleeving them you'll get away with it but if people don't it can be quite the shock.
Lovely job all in.
Nice one thanks for the info mate 👊🏾
Good vid and editing ✈. Much details. Thanks
Thanks bro 🙏🏾
Very neat and tidy top job😊
Thank you mate 👊🏾
Good tidy job 👍🏻
Thanks bro 👊🏾
Spaghetti junction springs to mind with that wiring job lol
Yup!
Was nice meeting yous in Turkey got yourself a new fan😂
😂👊🏾 hope you guys had a good rest of your holiday
aonther quality job chirag it was a good upgrade . i would have liked to gone to the installer show did you do a vid on it?
Thanks mate, no I didn't get a video of Installer unfortunately!
Great content buddy really informative as a qualified electrician it bugs me and pains me to say this though don't use your fingers to press or test cables you'll give yourself a false reading because our body's skin surface is resistance and will show on a multimeter which by the way nice fluke they don't make them like that anymore keep up the vids great content 👍🏻
Ah gotcha, good to know mate thank you 👍🏾
Hi bud,a lot of press fit fittings can be expensive why not cut your costs down by using pipe bending skills also looks more professional..just a thought …👍👍👍
Thanks 👍🏾
Lovely job !
Just a question regarding the cylinder discharge,
Where did you run it through?
Thanks mate 👍🏾 we tee'd into the bath waste
Any discharge from an Unvented appliance can't be discharged in to a waste pipe that has another appliance waste discharging in to it, I'm not picking on you just have a look in the G3 REGS also your D1 looked longer than 600mm from my house 😁 nice job keep up the content, I didn't see a heating expansion vessel ?
Copy a d pasted from G3
The discharge pipe should not be connected to a soil discharge stack unless it can be demonstrated that the soil discharge stack is capable of safely withstanding temperatures of the water discharged, in which case, it should: a. contain a mechanical seal, not incorporating a water trap, which allows water into the branch pipe without allowing foul air from the drain to be ventilated through the tundish; b. be a separate branch pipe with no sanitary appliances connected to it; c. if plastic pipes are used as branch pipes carrying discharge from a safety device, they should be either polybutalene (PB) or crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) complying with national standards such as Class S of BS 7291-2:2006 or Class S of BS 7291-3:2006 respectively; and d. be continuously marked with a warning that no sanitary appliances should be connected to the pipe. Notes: 1. Plastic pipes should be joined and assembled with fittings appropriate to the circumstances in which they are used as set out in
System boiler you didn't have a pump either hahaha silly me
Nice job mate. Just a quick random question. I know probs unlikely cause you know what you’re doing but what if you had a pressure drop/leak and it had been leaking overnight and you only come back to it in the morning?😂 what happens then. God forbid it never does
Well there's never a good time for a leak, but rather it happens whilst you're at the job for a couple of days. I always put in a disclaimer on my conversions anyway that I'm not responsible for pre-existing joints/pipework
so cylinder return isnt the last return back to the boiler then?
They're both teed straight into the primaries so there shouldn't be any reverse circulation. I've had that before where there was a radiator return after the cylinder return so it kept reversing through there
Both straight into the return yes i can see that, but isnt it about the order.. looking at video, your cylinder return is the second from last tee.. rather than last tee on return back to boiler. So will it not cause reverse circ if the tees are quite close?
@@11982463 well the job was done over 6 weeks ago and we haven't had any callbacks 👍🏾
Hi mate. Silly question, but when you were testing the live wiring, with your multimeter, how were you able to touch the live wiring and not get a shock ?
Wiring wasn't live just linked together at the boiler end 😊
What Wayne said 👍🏾
how much did you charge for this job,
It wasn't my job, I was helping a colleague out
Lovely job that. Are you ex BG?
Thank you mate 👍🏾 Nope never worked for BG, started in social housing for a couple of years before going out on my own
Could you not have piped the boiler up with all pipes on left hand side rather than have them all on show ….would have looked a lot better….
👍🏾
