Identify this combi-boiler part

[bluemeenie]

As per the title, can somebody tell me what this brass part is called in my Protherm 100ec combi?

Also, you will see from the picture that the part is corroded and occasionally leaks large amounts of water. Could this be the reason for the frequent F1 errors?


Thanks

Looks like the pump block.

Diverter valve.

Like 45 said, it's part of the diverter manifold and no it wouldn't cause F1 faults.

Thanks for you replies.

Silly question but should I be concerned about the state of this part and that it occasionally seems to expel water?

Cheers

Its only the drain off point. Will make no difference to boiler operation.

They can be replaced on their own.

The F1 fault needs a gas reg engineer as not suitable for DIY repairs.

OK thanks Tony.

I will get an engineer in.
