5” gauge Sweet Pea. Leaking clack valve
Posted: Thu Sep 01, 2022 10:18 am
Hi,
I bought a second hand Sweet Pea last year and it ran well for a year or so but now the clack valve on the side of the boiler is leaking. Slow drip when cold but becomes worse as pressure builds up. It’s just a ball bearing inside. I’ve taken the valve and the ball off and soaked them in vinegar overnight to get rid of the limescale but although it’s helped somewhat, the valve is still leaking.
Any ideas?
