A plumber would most likely have as much idea of how to vent an oil pump as you. Yes you have been trying to vent from the wrong place and would likely cause a lot of damage If the boiler was to fire. You need to get in a technician experienced in oil.

Think he probably means over aired.

100 feet 15mm plus fittings could probably run a Bunsen burner ok!

Any of the sheds. Your local plumbers merchant, or just buy another drain cock of the same type and change over the guts of it.

The valve without a wheel on it is the one to turn off. Use a spanner or adjustable to turn off. Open a downstairs hot tap to empty the pipe work, there should be very little water to drain.

Oh dear..............:cry:

Simple answer, if the olive not in the right place then ' it the valve with a nammer' to put it in the right place. The olive not in fixed place until tightened with compression nut.

Same here. For the last three days have to log in every time.

Perhaps I have missed something. Why would the OP need to drain down the system to remove the radiator with both valves closed?

Trap extension pieces are available for your situation in 1 & 2 inch lengths. Most plumbers merchants would stock these.

Spot on oilboffin.

What about long standing members who are ****s?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa:cry::cry::cry::evil:

Oyster card costs money. Agile must be on bus pass by now judging by his mug shot so should be cheaper. (I am pushing 71 and he looks a lot older than me!)

That's no good! The OP wanted a left turn elbow. That is clearly a right turn elbow:rolleyes:

A vice would be a bit lumpy to lug around on a bus. A decent pair of grips would do the same job.

I think you are saying that the boiler is ok on hot water alone but overheating on heating alone call. (The comma appears to be in the wrong place) My view is the three port is at fault rather than the pump.

In that case you still may have a make up tank at a high point like in a high cupboard.

Yours is a very ancient boiler that could be filled with a closed header tank. Have a good look to see if there is no mains filling loop attached to the pipe work. Check in the loft, there may be a make up tank. This may have dried out due to ball valve being jammed closed. If there is make...

Don't use PTFE on the nipple, the threads don't make the seal. You would more likely end up with leaks.
