Hi all, i have a leaking trv that has been in our house for 20 odd years,
It leaks from the Pin, (only when the TRV is on) if you take the TRV off it dries up and seems fine, not that I understand the simple way the TRV works however to save me buying a new TRV and having it fitted (draining down etc) if I put a small hole in the TRV so it isn’t in contact with the pin would this be ok (I know the TRV wont work as intended) I just want to stop the thing working, I know it’s a temp measure I know it needs a new valve, I am thinking as the TRV works it moves the pin so makes it leak (we don’t even use the TRV this is the reason I am suggesting this) look forward to comments
