Chaffoteaux Combi PRV

[jpm]

I have a customer with a dripping prv on a Chaffoteaux Combi it's the one with a plastic flexy pipe off the PRV.It drips constantly.Anyone ever stripped one?I'm guessing it's noly an "O"ring or the valve seat.Anyone have a manual or schematic by any chance?
Cheers John

As you have to go back anyway,you are better fitting a new head if possible
remove old head and this is one of the two things a 5p coin is good for
put it in the body,rub it round and it will clean the seat
then fit new head,if you want to clean old,just clean any rubbish off old washer,dry and apply a bit of silicon greese to washer,then replace

ps .The other use for a 5p coin if you have not found out yet is,if you are stuck,you can use is to make a temporary cap end,it fits perfectly into a 1/2 compresion nut, add a washer on top and away you go (not for gas obviously)

Hmm!

In the old days we used 1 old penny coins for cylinder caps they fitted great in 1" cap nuts. Just clean them and the nut up, plenty of flux,tin them then solder a cap.

You could do all that then we only got about 3p per hour and that is no joke.
