Central Heating Pipes Touching Power Cables

[ryanc]

Hi Everyone!

I'm a novice but wanted to ask for some professional advice. I have just had a new boiler fitted along with a Honeywell CM907 (I think) thermostat.

My question is regarding the power cables that run from the mains to the thermostat relay and back up to the boiler. They touch the pipes that obviously get very hot which I can't imagine is a good thing, I may be wrong?

Would you advice I buy some foam insulation (http://www.screwfix.com/p/economy-pipe-insulation-22-x-13mm-x-1m/91078) and put it around the pipes that touch the cables?

Thank you for your time

It's building code that no wires of any kind touch any water pipe, or any metal piping for that matter. Anything to seperate them will work fine

Matt is correct. I advise you to insulate ALL the pipes, do you realize how much money you are loosing, because the piping is not insulated ?

A LOT !!!!!!!!
