Boiler valve

[stephsol]

Hi All,
I have a leak from this valve. (see photo) I think the pipe under the hose clamp is cracked.
Does anyone know the discription and where I can get one???
I suppose I should dump the boiler or it will empty via the crack slowly?

Give Link Removed a try they have a lever type tap.?

Is it not just a leak from the hose connector and jubilee clip ?
Removing cleaning and remaking the connection my solve your problems

If you can't find a drain cock a straight joiner will be OK until you can. Available from any caravan / mh accessory shop. You won't need the drain until first frost.

It's possible? The jubilee clip is solid but there is movement, which makes me think a fracture? I can remove it, will I need to drain the boiler or is it a line from the water pump?

yes you need to drain the boiler, using the 2 valves in the picture. water drains through the pipe underneath to the floor under the van

Thanks everyone, I got lucky by just fitting a new jubilee clip, the hose was so tight on the valve it would have to be cut off, so I was in the process of finding a new length and thought to try another turn on the clip and it did the trick. Thanks again everyone, I've learnt a little more .

The other option is to cut the end of the hose off just after the valve, remove the stuck, hard part of the hose from the valve, then refit the slightly shorter hose. Usually works unless the whole pipe has gone hard from the hot water.

Unfortunately it was a nicely fitted pipe with no extra length, at least I've found where to get it from should another problem arise.?
Thanks though.... all's well now.

When mine split I changed the whole pipe for a new piece without the drain, still haven’t got around to sorting it.
A bit annoying when you need to remove a tap or something but I put the shower hose on floor and open tap and that helps.
