Leaking on central heating -what is it?

[wooslepip]

Hi all

New here due to a leak on my c/h pipe work , water is coming from white pvc part
Is it just an end stop?

Thanks in advance for your help

It's probably been cut with a hacksaw! This leaves a sharp edge and has maybe cut into the sealing "o" ring. Best to replace with a compression cap end.

A compression blank and some jointing compound like LSX or Jet Blue,
You'll need to drain down or atleast drop the pressure and level of the CH system to below the blank cap

Try give it a twist first, it sometimes works.

Try give it a twist first, it sometimes works.

And sometimes ends in disaster!

Wouldn't give it a twist ... Do not touch it when this pops off you will have your own pool at home and might be not very cold though
