Wiring up new room thermostat

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?

  • It may well have been a dual use design also able to last for a number of days as an emergency shelter in the event of a nuclear attack and or to store enough to put out fires nearby if the mains water was off.

    The cold war led to some seemingly odd design decisions for local authority buildings, like public sports centres and swimming pools that were designed to be able to quickly double up as medical centres or even morgues, and village halls with more fuel and water storage than you would nowadays bother with in today's 'always on' society, and even the odd basement that again nowadays would not be there.
