This thing in my ferroli boiler (see attatched pic) has started leaking from the valve thing at the
top. What is it ? It's only attatched to the water circuit, so I assume it's either a temp or pressure relief valve. The valve had a plastic cap (like a car tyre cap), and two O rings at the bottom which have gone hard and cracked. The plastic cap doesn't look like it's meant to take any pressure, so I suspect that whatever's inside is leaking and the cap had been holding it until the O rings cracked. Unfortunately it's buried behind pipes so I've not been able to unscrew the top bit (which I assume does unscrew). Should I investigate further - if something inside has broken/worn will I be able to get a replacement, or shall I just bodge up a proper cap to seal up the top valve....? |
