Can you identify this part?

Hi there,

Please could you help identify this part in my central heating system. It has begun to leak slowly from the top of the black plastic. Can you point me in the right direction for a replacement?

Many thanks,

Hi Shaun,

Thanks for the information, so it's on the cold/hot water side. I will get a plumber in, but I'd like to know what the part is called so I can explain what the problem is to someone.

OK thanks, and as a guide, what do you think the maximum price should be for the replacement and installation?

many factors to add in could be anything from 200 - 500 depending on location etc

I'm on checkatrade now looking for plumbers but cant see any which say G3. Is there a website listing plumbers with G3 cards?

Hi

I'm in Southampton.

For my own knowledge, from the photo can you tell what type of central heating system we have?
