    Hi guys, quick question for all the sparks and plumbers out there! I need to know if a line voltage thermostat can be bypassed? I have two brown wires and an earth (not connected).my question is; if I joined the two brown wires would it bypass the thermostat successfullly or cause a short? Photo can be attached if needed with wiring diagram.
    Thanks in advance.

    I wouldn’t to protect those coming after you, it would be much safer to disconnect the wires ar source.

    Thanks for the response Gary. I would definitely do that but for the fact that the heating won't run with the circuit open, ie. wires disconnected. Just not sure if joining the wires together would act as a bypass or blow up the house! .

    That's what I'm thinking, but the wiring diagram inside the thing shows live and neutral connections.

    only neutralized after a load. stat only switches live in live out. if you want to bypass the switch connect both into C.
