Help please, boiler drain leak.

[Coolbeanz]

We’ve just started to load everything ready for a trip away and when Glynn put some water in to check boiler and pump were okay we discovered there is a leak from where you drain the boiler down when emptying the system. Does anybody know the correct term for this part as we’ve tried looking on the internet to find a replacement and can’t find it. In the picture it’s the blue valve. I assumed it would be a boiler drain valve but that hasn’t yielded any results.

Looks like it might just be an isolation valve perhaps.

Looks like it might be a bleed valve perhaps.

I’ll give that a try, thank you

Are you sure it’s the blue valve that’s leaking and not the black boiler frost dump?

Drain down valve?

Those valves are not normally a problem if it is leaking might be worth taking it out and soaking in hot vinegar in case its a calcium build if not here is a new one.

If it is not coming from there it could be the air relese valve.

No it’s definitely the blue valve as we tested it.
