Guess the Valve...

[charliejamesuk]

Hi All,

Can you help me sus the name of this valve? Its take from a Glow-Worm Unvented SS-175. The yellow valve T's in below the Pump and is leaking badly. I've checked on Glow Worm site and can't find a valve that looks like this with the yellow head.

Thanks in advance.

looks like a pressure relief valve,get a standard one match to its release pressure and thread configuration ,if its leaking by passing water trough it to the safety pipe you need to find out why

Not leaking to the safety pipe, it leaks badly from the end and has ruined the front lounge ceiling.

Could be an automatic by-pass valve.

Yeah, annoyingly the installer has fitted the valve facing the rear wall.

My money is on it being an auto bypass by the looks of it.
