    Hello everybody,

    Looking at a new boiler stove for my house ( solid wood stove ) but the plumbing system seems a bit complicated.
    The manual is talking about connecting the stove to the cold main through a TAS, a " thermal discharge safety device ", which basically inject cold water in the stove , as a safety feature, if the boiler reach over 95 degrees.
    A drain has to be fitted too to get rid of this water.
    My plumber says that this system is not allowed in Ireland .

    ( to precise, this TAS valve is not motorized or connected electrically.



    Does anybody know something about that ?

    Yes, my plumber talked about the Heat Genie system .

    But what I want to know before going further with him, is why a simple cold feed from the main to the stove can't be fitted.
    The TAS valve is provided with the stove, so it is just a matter of bringing a pipe from the main to the stove .
    It's a new build, everything is still open, so no problem this side.

    According to him, a cold feed to the stove is against the regulations. True ?

    That said, I'm reluctant to go against the stove manufacturer recommendations not to have this safety valve fitted , regarding the warranty... ( stove is German made )
    ( and I don't talk about the house insurance if something is not fitted according to the stove manufacturer ! )
