update pressure guage was blocked - i couldnt even get a sewing pin in it! Replaced guage and now it moves and is working good.

I thought that origianally - but its a solid end - or does the "whole end" unscrew?

think i might get my man back to change the pressure guage then! I am just curious though and like to try to do things myself as knowledge is king (within laws of course) and i thought changing a pump and pressure guage wouldnt be such a hard thing. I guess the hard thing to understnad is...

I was just carrying some wood down my side alley way and smashed the end of the plastic thing that's on the outside wall at the end of the flue pipe. What's the actual name for it? And can I be replaced? Thanks
