PeterW Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Why do you think the pressure vessel is leaking ..? And no, not possible to change that without at least a partial drain down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterW Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 If you take the pressure out of the system and only remove the one component you may be able to swap it without too much hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Can you isolate it, loosen the joints, swivel down and remove? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only relieve the pressure but it will still be connected up I think. Here is a picture of the spec. Worth getting one of these or another type?

Chriswills Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 To remove, is it just a case of removing from the rear bracket and twisting it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
