Propex Heater Thermostat

[lloydy]

I already told elmo about the stat...

Problem is kev, your obviously not very believable

[elmo makaroy]

sorry i totally missed that kev, were do i get a £10 thermostat from then? and how do i go about wiring it up to the 3 wires coming from my propex (2 positive 1 negative) sorry again

[lloydy]

honeywell roomstat, screwfix, B&Q ect.
I used a propex stat that i changed like for like
from earlier in the thread

On my propex thermostat as pictured above.
top connection (red cable) - 12 Volt Live
next connection (brown cable) - short between here and top switches on heater and fan
next connection (white cable)- short between here and top switches on fan only
bottom connection (green and black cables) - earth

Again take some pcitures of your heater and post them up

I knew someone had posted some pictures of their install, under window removal of course

A mechnical thermostat is a switch elmo... It switches power on and off
its amps that matter and the b&q one is ok
Don't get an electronic one.. For obvious reasons.
when you buy one use the wiring diagram they give you to wire it up to power
then put the propex wires in and test it

that one say's electronic, so might need 240v to work. honeywell is the safest bet, 100% will work http://www.uk-plumbing.com/Honeywell-T6 ... googlebase.
i think you need someone to help you with this though

Elmo whereabouts are you?

Go to your 'User control Panel' then 'Profile' and fill in your location. It will then show under your name on EVERY post

That way people know where you are and may be near enough to come and help you.

[elmo makaroy]

[yorkierob]

this thread is perfect timing for me as I've also just got the same Propex - thanx guys I know what I'm doing now just got to find room for the bottle
one question - can i run a cooker and the propex off one bottle?

[lloydy]

no problem, size of gas bottle dictates how long you can run them obviously
