Central Heating Q - Can I Use Immersion Thermostat For Zone Valve

Hi,

sorry it's not a car question but someone on here is sure to know.

 

So i have a water tank with 2 immersion heaters. I have one working and the other is spare. I have a gas boiler plumbed into the tank that i haven't yet wired up. (gas boiler runs the central heating also so that works fine etc). It is set up as S-plan.

 

So for the gas boiler to heat the water in the tank i need a thermostat to tell the zone valve to open etc So my question is can i use the thermostat that is in the second immersion to turn on the zone valve?

 

It's a fully covered tank so i can't use the strapped around tank thermostat and it seems messy to have one fitted to a pipe when there is an un-used thermostat free that sticks directly into the tank (so should be more accurate).

 

Is that a bad idea? against regs etc?

 

any thoughts?

 

thanks
