As heading. I now have 2 vents out of 6 which dribble water when
unscrewed.

Any thoughts?


That means four aren't working as designed -- AIUI they are crap and will all
leak eventually.


I plan to screw them all shut once the air is fully out of the system.

I found a couple of U tube videos giving a clear explanation of the
purpose and ideosyncracies.

The ones on the manifolds are probably safe to remove as all the pipes
are at a lower level and there are isolating ball valves.

The plumbers have fitted two further vents on vertical legs which can
probably be removed once the system is depressurised.

I'll have a go when the moment arrives.

Thanks all
