Ravenheat

The part

Replace an NTC thermistor on Ravenheat CSI Primary 85T for wildly inaccurate flow temps or an F22/F75/L1 low-water fault.

Isolate safely

Each NTC on Ravenheat CSI Primary 85T clips onto the copper flow pipe with a spring clip. Fit fresh heat-sink compound before refitting.

Fit and commission

Cross-check resistance with a multimeter — 10 kΩ at 25 °C for standard blue-body NTCs.

Recommission checklist

Refill the Ravenheat CSI Primary 85T to 1.2 bar cold. Bleed high-point radiators and the internal AAV.

Run a full flue-gas analysis after 15 minutes. Log the reading against the OEM commissioning envelope in the Benchmark book.
