Help required to identify a valve on Hot Water Draw-off

[Harvest Fields]

@Harvest Fields

Sorry if I upset you pal.

I'm a hvac electrician so have some experience of figuring out how to get into boilers and cylinders etc and agree with what you say as when I was an apprentice I came across things I was inexperienced in but soon figured out what it was doing there is what it is.

Just saying if he spent a bit of time there looking at it and rang two friends and they didn't know he can't of explained it well so can't have a clue what he looking at,

No offence intended mate. Threw my teddy out the Pram a little then. What I meant was this is an open forum and no offence to the op we only know there side of the story. It is ok giving advise but if it then leads to the op doing the work themselves (not saying they would) this then becomes dangerous itself.

Your right pal I suppose I'm eager to get into the conversation when I should of kept my mouth shut,

People who aren't qualified shouldn't be messing with it and I don't want to give them help identifying parts only for them to attempt it.

My bad just getting used to the forum etiquette.

No worries mate. I’m just a stickler for the rules. Especially on G3. As you can see from the Ops post, it is sometimes bad enough when you have supposedly qualified people working on it.

Its obvious to anyone who is G3 , on what it is and what to do with it . I will leave it there

Hi there,

Don't worry, I have absolutely no intention of trying to fix anything related to to Central Heating or Hot Water, I was really just trying to get confidence that the valve could be removed safely and replaced by pipe without me being woken one night by a boom or a cascade of water running down my hall.

I've just checked with one of my neighbours that has the same house style and set-up as me, and it appears that he does not have this valve on the hot water draw-off so am now a bit more confident that if he can live without it, then so can we (unless someone wants to say otherwise).

Once again, I really appreciate everyone's input on this - Thank you all

Cheers
Steve

PS. I'm now 99% sure it's a Boss Pressure Reducing Valve

Its a Honeywell D05F pressure reducing valve. Odd to have it in the output from an unvented cylinder, normally the pressure reducing valve is on the inlet.

 

[Steve-Scotland]

We do have 1 on the inlet also - that's the one that he is going to replace tomorrow (as he had to order the part) - just need to have a night off from hot water - oh well, at least it gives me a reason to use my gym membership tonight (for the 1st time in about 2 years) lol

One other question, would it be better to ask him to replace the 'unknown' one with another of the same type to save any potential future issues?
