Hi guys,
I awoke this morning to discover my kitchen, semi, flooded. I traced the source of the leak to a plynth heater (a "wet" one connected to the central heating system) underneath one of the work units. To my untrained eye it looks as if the valve (isolator?) is leaking AND the joint (compression?) where the heater proper joins to the valve. See pic here:
The heater is isolated from the rest of the heating circuit by another pair of valves which I closed to stop the leak.
So is this the sort of job me, a novice could attempt? The sum total of my plumbing experience is a few compressions joints......If you reckon I could make a stab at it could you give me some advice as to how to proceed?
Cheers
Lawrence
