Hello all,
I have a Grant Vortex Mag-One filter which is leaking from one of the three caps on the top of the unit, I think its the central black one(see Photo attached)
I have some new o-rings ready and the service instructions (see attached Photo) but am not sure on a couple of items and hope you can clarify.
Can you advise me what these three caps are, I believe the central black one is the magnet, the brass one is the air valve and have no idea what the yellow one is (it has numbers written all around it). Can you please confirm if that is all correct?
Regards
ppeetteerr

Middle one is magnet, brass valve is bleed and the other wheel with numbers is set to the month of installation/service for future reference. Installed/serviced in June then set to 6. These units should be serviced yearly along with the boiler, in fact any decent engineer will be doing that at the time of boiler service as well.
 
Tbh looks like it’s needs swapping as it has the same issues as the tf1
 
That looks like one of earlier mag one
Current ones have chrome air valve
Would agree with Shaun change it for something better we use fernox omega.
Except on vortex blue boilers when you have to use mag one to get warranty.

Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but don’t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.

Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well. A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...

The fittings below are for a mixer bar attached to a self contained shower. i.e not a wall. The attaching screws have snapped. I could get two new brackets, dismantle that existing one and start again or I could try and re attach via those screws, removing the broken ones from the plate and wall...
