I have a pressured heating system and the fill loop has been working fine for many years. However recently the plastic tap on the inlet valve broke off. I think this happened because the valve has become really stiff to turn. Is there any way I can free up the valve to make it rotate more freely? There appears to be some gunk around it.
With it being on the mains water I am afraid of it breaking or sticking open. I have fabricated an small extension that I attach to it with another valve on it. This was a "just-in-case" bodge. Currently I have to use a small spanner to turn the valve to top-up the heating but not sure if it's a good idea.
