Blue plastic water valve stuck

[frazzled127]

Hi, the pressure in my Baxi combi boiler has dropped so no hot water. I've tried turning the blue plastic water valves but only one will turn - the other is stuck tight and im not sure what to do to get it to turn. Please can anyone help with some advice? Thank you

If the blue handles can be removed (and I don`t know if they can), then remove and use a small adjustable spanner on the flats underneath.

Thank you for your help .... will be trotting off to the shop tomorrow for a spanner!!

There are some valves which have a Stop, so they only rotate so far, have you tried turning the handle both ways?

Did you get this sorted? I have just moved to a house with Baxi Duo Tec Combi and I have the same issue. Blue valve on the right works ok but the one on the left won't budge so I can't pressurise the system. The boiler is 4 years old and was recently serviced.

Try removing the plastic head and turning with an adjustable spanner.

Cheers buddy. That worked.

No worries. Probably a worn plastic tap housing then. Not sure if they’re available as a spare, it it’s a workaround for now.
