Fernox TF1

[Resolute]

Hi Folks,

I've a customer who has a slight weep on a TF1 where it swivels. Having not removed one of these before (only used magna cleans) is it serviceable or should I bin it and stick a new one in?

Cheers.

tf1 has got to be set up with the right insert and washer to suit the orientation

Cheers Johnny. The TF1 was existing and only just started weeping so I assumed the washer has perished.

Flow runs horizontally from left to right with TF1 pointing down.

 

[johnnyplumb]

it should have a yellow o ring and black spacer for left to right horizontal, also make sure the original black o ring washer has been removed.

Ok, will check these. Is there anyway of getting replacement seals? Can't see anything online and don't really wanna buy a new one if it's not needed.

Speak to fernox they may send u some free? Magnaclean always do.

The TF1's changed from the coloured o rings a while back to a clip

Cheers folks. I was hoping not to have to go back until I had the parts but guess I'll need to take it apart and check if its a seal or clip!

If fernox don't send you the I rings I will send you some. All mine have been fitted on vertical pipes on the return so none of the extra o rings needed. But I keep them anyway if customer ever wants pipework altering or boiler moving blah blah

I've got a hand full anyway

Contacted Fernox today, they're sending me some seals FOC!

Thanks all for your help though!

Fernox now say that if the top seal is disturbed a new O ring must be fitted.

They said they will send out a new O ring every year !
