I generally use a hammer on these
They don't do I don't think. What you taking them off for, you can get all things from front
No it's fine - had to change a flow pipe as rubber was leaking.. pile of pooh as replacement just kept peeing out of connection under burner .. no matter how many times I took out and put back, slightly sealed o-ring with lsx, still leaked. Changed o-ring, still leaked. In the end I just sealed old rubber piece and put old pipe back.
Hate Vaillant!!!
Is that the common rubber hose which goes brittle & leaks? Did you get the rip-off copper pipe replacement?
I did yes and yes it's that piece of pooh rubber hose.. a waste of money that replacement pipe, just like their boilers
Yeah, that's the one I got, but it has a plastic extension piece before it slots into the pipe coming out the burner, and it's that plastic extension that leaked.. why they had to make an extension is stupid.. obv to fit different boilers but still.. STUUUUUPID!!
Rather be working on an ideal isar eh?
Twisted underneath it trying to get trap out

If this fits your all going to cry at the price VL.326 VAILLANT ECOTEC CONNEC.PIPE HEAT EX.TO PIPE 0020068956 0020068957 Compatible
Indeed.. I shoulda just hammered their boiler to a pulp and said it's beyond economical repair and quoted for a Worcester 😉
Jeez I bet they got their blue peter badge for that one!!! Sticky back plastic and some fishy glue lol
now your learning
part of the old fibre washer wasnt still stuck to the fitting was it by chance?
Neither end has a fibre washer.. just o-rings.. but it was only leaking from the new piece I bought - gonna take it back and get a credit note
did you use silicon spray when you pushed her home?
Used the silicon gel they give with the new part.. took the pipe out three times just to make sure it got home, put clip on, filled it up and it just sprayed out like a new water feature
Hahaha was it going into plastic or brass/copper?

Bought loads off them over the years TBF they were advertising in the gsr mag for ages,check out the price on grundfos pumps with them
The end of the copper pipe goes into a plastic extension (it came with the replacement pipe which is leaking) which then goes into the plastic connection next to the hex. Wasted a bloomin hour trying to get it to not leak before I gave up and worked in the old pipe
