Is this a new install or existing. Do you know what you are trying to achieve by installing a pipe stat? Do you know how the system is plumbed? Not enough info provided.
like what mark says, or when the pipe gets too hot, the stat opens and the pump stops.the pipe stat is a switch. when the pipe gets to a certain temperature the switch will close. permanent live one side of the stat, switched return from the stat will join to the pump. neutral straight to the pump. hope that makes sense.
Simon, I started to do a drawing for you but my judgement got the better of me. You obviously don’t know what you’re doing, please get someone that does!
Sorry if that sounds harsh but I will not be a party to giving information that could be misinterpreted.
have to agree, what you describe won't get you noticed for the latest NASA project, do you have a specific sticky point?, cause if you do ,fire away, i will help.
i'm going to fit a cylinder stat . Is it ok to wrap it round the header tank in the attic ?

Much better to play it safe. Get somebody who knows how to do it and observe how he does it so that next time you will know what to do.

Hi Guys thanks for your eply.. wired to C1 .. however it does appear from chatting to some others in the industry that there are two types of pipe stat.. some break on rise and some make on rise.. and it appears the Salus and honeywell stat in use break on rise.. hence the pump switches off at the preset temp... Durrr !!! .. Oh to have a brain that works all the time eh ?.. so the anser in short which may help the other guy is buy a sta that "makes on rise".. problem should then be solved .. will confirm when I have put this into practice.. Thanks again
All the best
