Glowworm-side ways Honeywell gas valve.

[kaboom]

Had trouble before cracking the screws on the test nipples but this time the inlet/purge nipple just won't budge. It faces sideways so you can only get a short screwdriver on it (fine once opened for the first time).
Anyone know if/where I can get a z shaped driver with a small enough head in a hurry? (In the Essex region of the Russian Federation).
Any one have any other ideas?
Am I going to have to take the gas valve out to loosen it?
No such thing as a simple job eh!

sounds like a ci boiler please confirm boiler if so take side panel off easier than gas valve last resort i use ratchet with quarter drive and bit adaptor find in halfords

 

[corgigazza]

try this screwfix tool, just add the correct bit

or even a bit on its own and a small spanner works.

Yes to Ci and Halfords first stop. Thanks guys.

You can get a smaller ratchet than that. I usually buy them in "£1" shops four at a time cos they're easy to lose.
