Hi all,

I think the pressure reducing valve cartridge on my pressure reducing valve is leaking. The pipe size is 22mm.

Where can I find a replacement for it?

I am clue less about what pressure and type it is.

It should say on the blue cap what pressure rate it is, all decent plumbers merchants stock them!

There's nothing written on the cap, maybe it is under the dirt / limescale. I will remove it and take to the shop on Saturday.

Also I just noticed there's a screw on the end of the cap, it also looks like you can rotate the blue cap in any directions. What is this adjusting? The water pressure? How do I know that I have the correct adjustment.

Thanks
Seb
 
yea that will work just set it to about 3-3.5 bar you will be fine
 
The valve is set just after the tap from the main. From the valve the pipe goes into my flat. It is cold water.

The cylinder is set way later in system

Brass tap body is leaking.
I have attached an image of the brass body within a tap. Having replaced a cartridge which has cured a leaking tap, I can see that there is a small leak from the brass body which can be unscrewed. Is there a seal behind the body? Thanks.

What is correct toilet supply line
Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but don’t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.
