Hi All,

The hot water tap on my bath is dripping, and needs the washer replaced. My only problem is, I don't know how to turn the hot water off!

I have a Baxi back boiler downstairs behind the gas fire in the living room, and a hot water tank upstairs in the bedroom cupboard which is supplied by the Baxi (I think)

The hot water tank also has an immersion heater fitted, but that is not used.

I have attached a sketch showing the various connections and valves on the hot water tank, in the hope someone can tell me what to shut off. I'm assuming that I will need to drain all the hot water off before I can change the washer? Will I need to watch out for any air locks when refilling?

Any help or advice will be very much appreciated.

Best Wishes
Derek.
