    Diverter valve with simple thermostat wiring?
    I am running a very simple back boiler to a few rads with an open header tank. I want to divert the water when it gets too hot to my indirect hotwater cylinder. So I was thinking of adding a diverter valve simply wired to a thermostat so that when the temperature in the pipes gets to a certain amount it will divert the water to the tank as if it is an extra radiator. The plumbing of all this is simple and I am happy to undertake it but wiring a simple thermostat to the diverter valve is new to me. Is this a simple operation? Can you point me in the direction of a wiring diagramme to satisfy this model?
    Thank you

    It will be a 3-way motorised valve, but I haven't purchased one yet, so will get which ever you recommend.

Diverter Valve [ 1 Answers ]

I was washing the dishes and when I went to press to spray nozzle, no water came out. Then when I went to use the faucet, no water came out as well. I think this may have to do with the diverter in the spray nozzle? What are your thoughts? And how do you remove the spray nozzle?
