Folks
A customer pointed out a small drip from an overflow pipe coming from a pressure release valve of a heating system they have had converted from being a vented system. The issue would seem to be that the pressure release valve (3 bar is letting by).
My intention was simply to go in and replace their PRV. However it occurs to me that 3 bar seems a little low and is quite likely to blow with the least variation in the water pressure* and hence subsequently let by. Should I maybe install a slightly higher pressure PRV this time or perhaps you might have some other suggestion?
Many thanks
Michael
*They are mind you, 2/3 the way up on a hill which probably means that pressure is generally a little on the low side.
