Thanks a lot for all the advice. After belatedly closing my filling loop a full two years after it was installed, I've enjoyed a big slice of luck in that my PRV isn't actually jammed (despite being open all that time!). It seems to have closed and the overflow has stopped dripping down my...

OK, but should both valves have been left open though? (i.e. with the clips sitting in a position parallel to pipe) If the filling loop was left open could this be why the overflow pipe is always dripping? - i.e. PRV becomming jammed in open position as always getting rid of excess water.

Thank you for all the advice. I wasn't really familiar with the filling loop, so I hadn't closed it previously. Is it correct procedure for it to remain attached and open during use?, as this is how the installing engineer left it, and how it has been for the past two years. I switched off...
