Hi All. I have a leaking boiler and have had to switch off the water to the house.
The leak has been getting worse over time, but now it's really bad.
It's coming from the hot water outlet on an ariston boiler. I've unscrewed the nut which connects the pipe work to the boiler and found out that there isn't any kind of rubber seal? What I did find on the boiler end of the pipe is this strange mesh thing (filter?) which goes inside the pipe and I think is supposed to provide some sort of seal, between the connecting pipes. It looks as if the seal/o ring part of this mesh thing has disintegrated and thus causing the leak.
Does any one know what this mesh thing is?
