Guide Required

[Rework24]

Dear Members,

I have a Halstead Ace boiler, the diaprahm has gone in the divertor valve, the part number is 840505. I have ordered the replacement part and the guy i spoke to said it was extremely easy to fit, I wonder if someone would be kind enough to point me in the direction of or write me a step by step guide to changing it.

Many Thanks
Chris

Isolate the mains water into boiler and open hot tap to drain.

Remove brass water valve on RH side. Replace old diaphragm with new one and re-fit water valve.

thats it.

Rob i appreciate your help!

I am going to really show my stupidity here but is the water valve inside the boiler?

Cheers

[gas_man_gaz]

[Rework24]
