That's OK sogggy_weetabix
Is it possible to get some advice on the earlier post I made on actually changing the PRV and filling loop - question again was:
I think I will attempt to replace on Sunday. Please could you advise on:
1. Draining water out of the system - best way to do it and how much water to expect to drain out before I commence work? How do I know how much to drain out.
2. What tools for the job do I need?
3. PRV - How do I disconnect the old one without damaging anything.
Would fitting of the new PRV be the reversal? How should I have the black knob turned - left or right when I fit it?
*I have look at the actual PRV i need to replace and notice 2 metal clips connecting the PRV to the pipework. Would it be a case of unclipping and sliding the PRV off?
4. Filling loop - the valve/key bit is slightly different to the one currently fitted to the boiller - I would expect it to do the same job [it has a directional flow arrow of it - do I assume this needs to be pointing down] Also would it be correcdt in saying that I only need to replace the left side of the filling loop as that is the only part that is leaking water - saves me changing the right conenction]
I think my PRV is well and truely knackered as it is dripping quite fast outside and I would appreciate some tips to make teh job easier.
Your opinions and advice much appreciated as always
