Hi,

Have a small leak from the boiler from this part but not sure what it does or is called. If you could identify then I can buy the part for the plumber to fix.

Thanks so much, Sara

could be just one of these you need http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plumb-Pak-Compression-Blanking-Nut-4in/dp/B0039823M8 but when you get a leak always check to see if there's a leak further up that's dripping down, the valve is for the filling loop and the valve has been left open,turn the black knob to the right a quarter turn to switch it off
The valve is not for the filling loop, its the flow out of the boiler. Dont switch off unless you want to drain boiler and then switch off both flow and return.

You think it's capped off? You are wrong. That is an integral part of the valve.
 
Thanks for the replies. Yes, we do have heating. That's great if it's just a washer - I'll task Oh with having a go at it first then

the flow goes through the wall like the first gloworms they brought out ?

The first Glow worms only had one valve. It was on the gas.

If you dont know how this particular isolation valve works how can you possibly give advice on it, and link the poster to buy stuff for it? Also potentially leaving OP freezing for telling her to turn it off, where did you get your jamboree lucky bag from?
