I've got a leak that appears to be from the condensate trap. I reseated and tightened the yellow nut and that didn't help. Boiler is working fine otherwise. Seen loads of these traps on Ebay for £18, is it worth replacing it? Boiler was turned off for several weeks, but this leak has appeared soon after we begun using it again. Thanks for your help.
Wont hurt to replace it, but before you do undo the yellow nut and there should be a black rubber washer slide it down and ensure its intact. If it persists in leaking then a wipe of Jet Blue compound usually works. If you replace the trap you won't get a new washer and nut with it youll have to order that separately.
Some condense traps have an overflow or continuity cut out, Check overflow isn't blocked and check is connected to bottom of burner, Gas Safe engineers only can remove a boiler casing to a burner housing
Ok sure if it makes you happy Forgive me if I don't rush to fetch my English literature revision books,
ok we'll let you off this one time but, there's a standard we expect and try and maintain here, PB and myself are excluded as we don't read books but you young wippersnappers need to show a good example,
Yeap, we are trying to raise the standard of posts here even picking up on punctuation and grammar these days. It will be your English language books you'll be needing G&W, not literature....
thanks for the replies. I've since whipped it out and cleaned out the grey gunk. I've topped up the 1st compartment and re-installed back in the boiler, I'll see how it goes.
