Yes my cocks are in the loft, and its a nightmare. If somebody could make a
tap that does not seize or leak after time, ie, one designed to only be used
when needed, ie rarely, I'd get three in my house changed tomorrow.

Any top tips to avoid draining down a hw cylinder in order to

something that I can bung in/over the seat & reduce losses whilst
I fart with the jumper?

Or ought else?

TIA


Just turn off the cold water feed into the HW tank - hot water is drawn
off from the top. Open the tap in question to run off a small amount of
water (if any), replace washer.


Hmm to clarify, all of those valves are somewhat crusty &
unwilling to operate properly & I fear things could go t1ts up in
a trice....

As the cylinder is only on the floor above I was hoping for a
"limit the spillage" plan rather than a "potentially make tons
more work & inconvenience" plan.

It's not like there's oodles of PSI behind it.... Just need to
control/limit the flow for the 5 mins it takes to swap a
washer....
