Help? Pressure relief valve

[Ibraheem]

Can anyone help me with this small problem. To make a long story short basically this screw at the side of the pressure relief valve keeps leaking. I tried to undo it and tighten it again but still continues to leak drops of water.

Any suggestions?

I suggest you take a picture so we can see what it is your taking about 😉

You will need to get a qualified engineer in to replace it for you. The seal may have perished.

its a small screw just above the green sensor or something on the picture

What boiler is it? Make and model?

@Harvest Fields its a ravenheat 780 series condensing boiler

the leak is actually coming from the screw and no where else

Have you qualified as an actual engineer yet? If not leave it alone and get a pro in. As I said the seal may have perished.

The screw is holding the valve in , have you removed it or just loosened it

That’s why I have told him to not mess with it mate.

@townfanjon it got replaced with a new valve by an engineer and when they went i saw drips coming from the small screw so i tried to tighten it but it still leaks from the screw. i noticed literally 20 minutes after they left once i saw a pile of water around the counter

So as you are training you thought, I’ll tell what, I’m going to have a go at this myself?

@Harvest Fields lol how did you read my mind. i know that we should be gas safe to mess around with boilers etc especially with gas which i dont joke around with because its serious. But i thought that because its a water issue i will try to tighten just in case it might be loose. But it didn't work 😵

@Harvest Fields you're right
