leaking joint

[Paulboy]

i have baxi plat 28 which has just developed a leak on a joint , had it installed about 4 months ago, now i cant tighten this joint up as it seems to be a soildered joint. Now would this be a case of either calling baxi and getting them to fix (it has a 5 yr warranty) or do i call the plumber bk to fix it as i am not sure wheather its a pre manufactured part of the boiler or not, any help appreciated. I have enclosed the offending part!

I would call the plumber first.

He's used Power Flow as well.

So is the leak from the hot water outlet then paul

Hot water outlet is the only leak I can see. No soldered joint there.

Then its the 1/2" fibre washer.

Which is down to the installer

Never used it, but I think it is the type of flux used.

2 min fix

Power Flow is a flux, we dont use on gas now cause of its corosive nature. The oxidation gives it away. Now banned in Canada
