Hi all,
after some advice or pointers from you on trying to obtain a new valve handle.
I have a baxi instant 105e, that is running very well. I recently drained the system down to remove some radiators for plastering work and also to install a trappex centramag on the return line to the boiler. When i went to isolate the flow and return from the boiler (so i could add pressure to boiler for hot water) the flow valve from the boiler had not isolated. On closer inspection, the plastic valve handle has worn inside and does not grip the flats on the valve spindle. So i used a set of pliers and turned the valve 90 degrees to isolate.
I am trying to find a new valve handle for the valve, but all i can find are complete valves for around £30-35.
Can anyone suggest where to get just a handle or another suitable alternative so i dont have to keep a set of pliers handy or do i have to pay £30 for a handle!!
Thanks,
Roseyp
