Hi folks.
I'm after some advice if possible.
My baxi 105e seems to have a sticking diverter valve. C/h flow pipe is getting hot when running DHW.
I've ordered the kit to refurb the valve and know I have to drain the boiler before I remove said valve..... I also know I will have to isolate the c/h flow and return.
However the boiler is downstairs. The DHW out to the taps leaves the boiler turns up and into the ceiling void then runs to the back of the house feeding the bathroom before dropping down into the kitchen. It has no isolation valve at the boiler end.
I'm guessing that if I remove the diverter valve assembly that all the water in the hot pipe between where it drops down into the kitchen and the boiler is going to deposit itself in the boiler cupboard. Am I right in thinking this and if so how would the pros approach this to minimise the mess?
Thanks and regards.
