How to attach a PRV?

Now why didn't I think of that.

As you appear to be less than gainfully employed at present, I would imagine demand for your services in people's homes and businesses is just as valued as it is around this forum (HINT: D-I-Y = Do It Yourself).

Loctite 577 thread seal. Brilliant stuff. Fittings can be finger tight, and when it sets it's rock hard.

AWEM

Old way - pack it with just enough fibre washers to stop in the right place. (Old, old way was the same, but with wound hemp.)

New way - don't tighten it for a seal, apply a PTFE thread sealer (NB

- one for sealing pipework, not just locking threads) beforehand.

My blowlamp has been hung up for a few years now, and though I have fitted lots of combi's I have never had to renew the PRV. Is it possible to alter the overflow pipe to suit the valve?

Thanks for the tip. Useful to know for another project. ;-)

Thanks for the tip. Assume it's watertight too? Useful to know for another project, perhaps (see below). ;-)

Thanks for taking an interest.

Had to change the PRV, as expansion vessel diaphragm had collapsed and it was silently dumping water outside through the PRV. Looked a bit manky on the inside so to be safe, decided for £25 notes to just swap it out instead.

Cheers.
