Am i correct here guys, the CW mains will just close the HW tap insert/lifter, surely i will need to remove the inset/lifter for it too work?

Anyone confirm please??

Thanks

Yes, I think you are right. Could get messy!

I think, if he removes the jumper and gets the flow going, he can then dismantle and reassemble correctly with the system 'live'. A 6ft head is not going to be that difficult to control even with a tap dissassembled.

There is an old gate type isolator near the HW tap, i'm hoping i can remove insert and reassemble, get flow going hopefully, isolate, then reassemble, reopen valve.
Otherwise it will be messy. lol

Cheers guys.

Could always 'fix' the jumper did hundreds as a apprentice!
Two hammers end of jumper rested on one hit end of jumper with other hammer turn it slightly oval will hold it up stem of tap.

Why would i want to damage the jumper to keep it open?
It's easier to simply remove it surely?

Anyway guys little update, i did not have to do anything to the system? The pressure was fine??

The only thing i did do yesterday before i left was put the HW/boiler on constant.....

Has the expanding water simply increased the pressure? Or has the presumed airlock simply freed itself??

Anyone got any views on this? I will turn it off tomorrow and test it again the following day.

Cheers

Seeing as the OP didn't like the loose jumper, this was good advice. The OP didn't appreciate it, but I think you were helpful, thanks.

Ah, sorry i was confused by your response tbh, so by hammering/flattening the the 'pins' on the jumpers, then placing them forcefully back in the threaded part it was cause them to effectively jam and lift up and down when screwed.
Great idea tbh, sorry i misunderstood.

Plus MANY thanks to everyone who helped with the problem, great advice as usual and it IS much appreciated!!!!
