Boiler Pressure Relieve pipe (ed.)

[ladybags]

Hi does anyone know why this tiny pipe is leaking water out when Iv just put my heating on would be greatful for ant help

It is the outlet of your pressure relief valve (PRV), which means either the PRV is simply leaking, or is coming under excess pressure. If excess pressure, it could mean your expansion vessel (EV) needs its air topping up, or that it has failed.

Your EV might be in your boiler, or if you are lucky, mounted externally. Add some photos of the boiler and other parts, then you can receive more help.

Observe the pressure gauge when cold. Then turn it on and read it again when fully hot.

What are the two readings?

This is important.
