Wiring up new room thermostat

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hi guys


Hope you’re all keeping well and safe?


I need some help with wire colour identification for my new Flomasta and 6259G wired thermostat.  I have worked on any heating/water installs yet, so I’m not familiar with the wiring colours.  My old analogue Honeywell thermostat has 5 wires, Gn/Y, blue, black, light grey and brown.  The Honeywell is wired 1 gn/y, 2 blue, 3 black, 5 brown, light grey isn’t used.  New flomasta uses only 3 wires, Com, NO & NC, I know the NO & NC means open/closed, but which colour wire goes to which terminal?

     but cold water is not direct from the mains in kitchen either.


    Cold water to a kitchen tap MUST originate from the cold water main for health reasons. It should be mains pressure and not from a tank. It is drinking water.




    Ah yes, the bird! Let me explain.


    First of all, I agree with Zoomup, Mother taught us to drink only from the kitchen tap. (In fact, I think that all cold taps in Pearson mansions are mains-driven.)


    Back to the bird ...


    I was staying with an old chum (who is now my step son-in-law, lucky bar steward) and the bathroom smelt a bit iffy. He said that he had scrubbed and scrubbed the shower curtain, but to no avail. Now then, it was one of those over-the-bath showers from a tap at the end of the bath. On completion of my shower, I turned the lever to taps before turning off the supply. Out popped a feather! ?


    Further investigation revealed a dead bird (minus at least one feather) in the water tank.


    Said old chum had been brushing his teeth from the bathroom tap!!! ?


    ETA: for Lisa, God knows what this has to do with leccy! ?
