In all honesty I know I need to redo the tee... but when I repair one a different one springs a teardrop. I have an end-feed tee to replace it. I'm fed up with draining down... redo... refill... bleed air... check when filled... check when hot... check when running... check when thermally...

Hi I've just modded my CH by adding upstairs rads to the existing circuit. Now I've had a couple of 'leakers' on 22mm Yorkshire fittings. Obviously I've not heated them enough on the bottom of the fittings. I repaired these by replacing with end-feed fittings. It's a different story...

Thanks... but maybe people who've not answered the questions in the archives would like to get involved this time. As I have already stated... the search function has been used and there is conflicting facts as stated in initial post. My Q was to clear up stuff read from the depths of this...

It's been a while since I last posted; April 05 (ish) Let me introduce myself a little; I'm an electrical maintenance engineer at a major beverage producer from Ireland which is packaged in England yet I live in Wales so just missing a Scottish link. I've done house-bashing, predominantly...
