MR_W Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I'm looking to wire in a Hive system to replace my crappy old thermostat and ancient manual programmer.Happy with what terminals need wiring, but can anyone with experience tell me if I do need heat resistant cable to wire in the receiver?

MR_W Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Replace like for like At the moment it's 5 core but no idea if heat resistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Why would you need heat resistant cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_W Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Because anything I managed to find seemed to conflict between needing it and not needing it. I would have assumed not given its running out the bottom of the boiler so logically wouldn't get hot. However there may be regulations I am not aware of.

Stu Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 now you are making sense! I was under the impression that your programmer/stat would be going to a central junction box and not the boiler I wouldn't have thought you would need heat proof to be honest but I'm not a heating engineer!
