I've got a couple of TRV4 valves which are leaking a bit around the
pin. Google has revealed a YouTube video

which, towards the end, suggests that a gland seal replacement kit is
available, enabling you to replace the seal without draining the
system.

I've tried googling for the kit, but apart from a few mentions that it
exists I can't find out a source them. Anyone know where I might get
them from?

WOW - emailed Drayton customer services to enquire about suppliers,
and they are sending me a tool plus a handful of seals free. That's
what I call service!

I've always been impressed with Drayton.
They used to supply replacement heads for their decades-old TRVs
(and may still do so).

I bought a load of their TRV4's very cheaply at the Screwfix trade
show last year.

WOW - that's almost as good as making TRVs that don't fall apart after a
few years! 8^)

For anyone else stumbling across this - Drayton advise screwing the seal down an eighth of a turn every year (using long-nose pliers) then changing it when it bottoms out.
