Discuss Advice Please - Disconnected toilet, what 15mm cap end do i need? in the Boilers area at Plumbers Forums
So i have to remove the existing nut an olive (stuck on)***.It's only for a temp isolation.
Thanks
no take the cap end nut and olive off and just use the brass cap with the existing tap connector (the part you have) with a fibre washer sandwiched in between both
That in the photo just looks like a nut and olive?
Yep that's what it is.Yorkshire tap connector
You can get a swivel elbow with a service valve built in to itHi All
What 15mm cap end do i need to cap off this service inlet, plus is there any way to replace it with an isolator type even though there is no height.************
Thanks

Tap reaseater and a new washer and you will be good
You surely don't need new 'valves', just rubber washers, or at worst the complete jumper and washer (See link). These old taps were made to be 'maintained', not usually have the whole valve assembly replaced.Ah right, it basically grinds the bottom of the tap, like doing valves on a car back in the day.***
I still require new valves for the basin and bath taps though, presuming i can remove the back tap and hit it out from 'behind'.

Even re-seating them might not be needed as you're saying you will replace them in a month or so (Subject to the valve seat not being badly damaged). You could check a new washer works OK before buying a re-seating tool.

As far as the broken/jammed jumper is concerned, yes you can probably punch it out from underneath, and replace the it with the appropriate size, hopefully:

yesSo basically as you unscrew/open the valve you are relying on HW pressure to 'lift' it.
If by 'isolated the fill' you mean a valve is still closed between the upstairs tank and the input to the cylinder, you need to open it to get water to come out!Little update, isolated the fill to cylinder and replaced both tap head inserts on both bath (3/4) and basin (1/2).
They are operating but i'm only getting a little spurt of water, then it just constantly send out little tiny/weak spurts and dribbles.
The HW is off atm, does the cylinder need to get up to heat to provide more pressure as there is hardly anything there, the upstairs tank is full so should be forcing water through it??
