just moved in to new'ish place, wall stat drayton does'nt click when
heating on, water not getting very hot although radiators with stats
working ok, temp and water set ok. 5 valves 4 isolating cocks
underneath boiler any idea what position they should be in ?

So your problem is that the hot water from the tap isn't very hot?

It might be related to the fact that you have a 24kW combi, which can only
support a quite pathetic flow rate before the temperature starts dropping.
Try running at more of a dribble to see if it gets hotter.


I don't know where the OP went, but based on the snipped part of this I
suggest the problem with the stat may be that the Drayton needs a 240 volt
supply for its electronics and the normal stat connection on the 24ci is low
voltage. there is an option to use a 240 volt signal which requires an
additional connector. Someone may have simply swapped a standard stat with
an electronic type.

Otherwise if the hot water performance is in doubt the answer is spot on.
Restrict the flow rate to 2 gallons a minute and you should be within the
boilers normal capability. The isolating cocks should all be set to "on"
i.e. with the lever handles "along" the line of the pipe they are in. the
yellow one is gas, blue cold mains inlet, both reds are heating flow and
