What should the pipe Stat be set to?
Is the pipe stat fitted on the flow or return, if on return all the rads will heat up until return water reaches set temp. Pipe stat should be set to 10, you only want it to stop the pipes freezing.
What temperature should the Frost Stat be set on a boiler?
The frost stat should be set to 5 degrees, then a pipe stat ( L641B1004) is wired in series to the frost stat and normally set to 25 degrees this in turn all converges at the heating control wiring junction box for which the boiler is and other heating controls are also wired to.
What is the purpose of a pipe Stat on a boiler?
So the purpose of the pipe stat is to save on your fuel bills and maintain a level of heat to prevent frost damage to the boiler and heating system. I Hope I have explained matters that you now can relate to?
What temperature should I Set my boiler to turn off the heat?
Note. If the boiler is installed in a garage it may be needs a pipestat set at about 12 degrees to switch the heat off ,frost stat will come on at 4-5degrees pump a small amount of heat around and then switch off at 12 degrees ,can buy one for about £20
How low can I set my thermostat before pipes freeze?
The short answer? Setting your thermostat no lower than 50° and no higher than 60° F will: Save you money on your energy bill. Prevent your pipes from freezing.
How does a pipe thermostat work?
The Low Limit Pipe Thermostat is attached to the gravity return pipe to the boiler. It senses the return temperature, and prevents the timer from switching on the pump if the temperature is below the low limit. This stops cold water being pumped around the system, thus reducing corrosion and increasing boiler life.
Will pipes freeze at 62 degrees?
What temp should you set your thermostat at when you leave for work--something cost-effective that won't freeze my pipes? ANSWER: Anywhere from 55-62 degrees will keep your pipes from freezing while cutting your heating bill dramatically.
Can pipes freeze at 60 degrees?

What is a pipe stat?
A pipe thermostat is a mechanical/electronic piece of hardware that helps to monitor parts of a heating or cooling system, usually by attaching to a piece of pipe, and monitoring the temperature of the local area. A thermostat is a device that regulates temperature for a system.
At what temp should I drip my faucets?
When a cold snap hovers around or below 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-6 degrees Celsius), it's time to let at least one faucet drip. Pay close attention to water pipes that are in attics, garages, basements or crawl spaces because temperatures in these unheated interior spaces usually mimic outdoor temperatures.
Will my pipes freeze in one night?
Pipes can freeze in as little as six to eight hours, meaning they can freeze overnight. If the outside temperature is below 32 degrees F and your pipes are unprotected, your chances for a frozen pipe increase.
Should I run water to prevent pipes from freezing?
When the weather is very cold outside, let the cold water drip from the faucet served by exposed pipes. Running water through the pipe - even at a trickle - helps prevent pipes from freezing.
What should I set my thermostat to in the winter so the pipes don't freeze?
Regardless of how long you will be traveling and away from home, keep your thermostat set at 68 degrees Fahrenheit or above. This will help to keep the pipes on the inside of the home from freezing and the ones under the home at a slightly higher temperature as well.

I have a L641B1004 pipe Frost Stats and it was set at 25c in conjunction with a wall Frost stat set at 5c.
Steelmasons
Pipe stat regulates the boiler return temp....frost stat is switched via air temp.
Chris Dodds
thanks Steelmasons but that is different to what newboy says?????? if I leave it at 25c it will be on nearly every night in the winter, keeping me awake and using gas that I don't want it to. Any solutions to this?
Newboy
If the pipe stat is installed for solely frost protection then a low setting is fine.
Chris Dodds
Which for me it is. I only would want the boiler to start up on a night if there is a risk of Frost/pipes frosting. I have changed this from:
Steelmasons
Why do you suppose Honeywell recommend pipe stat setting to be @ 25c????
