Discuss Pressure vessel vales keep failing ?? at a loss. in the Central Heating Forum area at Plumbers Forums

Very strange, wonder is it actually leaking from the schrader needle valve itself or the valve body where it exits the EV, doesn't explain the reason but use a drop of soapy water to establish where (if) exactly its leaking from, if its the needle valve itself the you should surely be able to source a air tight cap for it.

Also why do you need to replace the EV, you can simply get it pumped up again?, also suggest getting a combined isol/drain service valve installed in the EV outlet pipe, there are purpose manufactured valves for this,
