I have a combi boiler with a check valve on the return side of the

Is it a cap rather than a nut?

All filling loops should now be supplied with a cap on either side.
This is so that the hose can be removed and both the check valves
capped off.

If it is a nut on one or other of the hose ends it will not leak if
loose until you use the filling loop.


It's a but in the middle of the check valve half way between the ends.
