So Friends,
Went to change a gate valve today.
All went very well. Until......
Turned water on, checked hot taps, no water, shat myself!! Air locked. Turned tap on, put finger over it, still nothing.
Luckily all cold taps were on main pressure so got a bit of hose pipe and stuck it on taps and opened them, all ok!! Phew.
Never done that before but worked a treat.
What other ways are there to get rid of air locks?
The kitchen had a mixer taps so as there was no outside tap how else could I have sorted it out?
Cheers
