Leaking Schrader Valve on Expansion Vessel

WhatNext · 12 Jan 2008

I went to check the static pressure on my CH expansion vessel today. When I checked it the schrader valve started to leak air.

Can the innards of the schrader valve be repalced ? I would really rather not drain the ststem down as I have just got all the air out of it.

Cheers

Yes you can buy a new valve and a removal tool cheaply.

They can be removed and replaced.

You need a shraeder core remover and the new valve core.

although you can replace them easily, once done you will need to repressurise and this will entail openning drain cock so you could be back to square one as regards to the air.
