Seperate spurs for boiler and underfloor heating.

hertzal123
The customer asked for 2 spurs  in the boiler cupboard for the above.The uf heating engineer now wants to fire the combi boiler via voltage free contacts from his room stat and controls.

My thoughts are there should be 1 spur for both boiler and ufh.Or there could be signage to isolate both supplies before working .Any Thoughts?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Regards,Hz

    I like the above suggestion that the accessory was originally called a 'Fused Spur Outlet".


    So using 'Spur' for this accessory is just an inappropriate abbreviation of which there are innumerable others like 'a radio' or 'an MoT'.

    Does anyone ask for a 'Flex' when wanting to buy a 'Flex Outlet (Plate or Connector)'?  No?


    Unfortunately 'spur' has another meaning in electrical work as defined in BS7671 Part 2. 




    No one asks for a "spur" either. It would be Switched Fused Spur or Unswitched Fused Spur
