A couple of queries.
1) I need to fix a leak on a rad pipe. Took a look at their Baxi combi boiler and to my surprise there was a red pressure vessel plumbed into the pipe work under the boiler. It looks to be connected directly to the filling loop. The owner stated that they had had trouble with pressure loss (probably caused by this very slow leak) and that this vessel was then fitted. Any ideas as to what is going on here? and will this complicate the usual process of draining down the system, repairing the leak and refilling the system?
2) Also I need to fit an outside tap which will have exposed pipe work running for about 8-10 ft. Any ideas as how to best reduce/prevent frost damage on any externally exposed pipe work?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
