Hi,
Gatevalve leaking next to hot water cylinder (part of CH) - can I just replace it with a length of pipe using speedfit couplings as a stopgap measure? The whole thing is due to be replaced in the next two weeks with a megaflow.
TIA

Leaking from where?
If it is the spindle, have you tightened the packing nut up?
No :-(( Didn't know abot this or had forgotten - age is wreaking havoc with the little grey cells. But I managed to get the encrusted sod off and will replace it today. Many thanks for the information.
Best regards,
Francis
Should be OK. Use a heat bank/thermal store not a megaflow.

Valves should be operated every 6-12 months through their full travel and gate valves left 1/4 turn closed. Then they are likely to work when needed.
Oh the thing turned all right but it leaked and no adjustment was possible. Thanks for the info.
Regards,
Francis
